Pick the odd one out and give reasons: (i) Jowar, Bajra, Ragi, Chana (ii) Kidney beans, Green gram, Soya bean, Rice
Chana is the odd one out. Jowar, Bajra, and Ragi are millets (nutri-cereals/grains), while Chana is a pulse (protein-rich legume).
Rice is the odd one out. Kidney beans, Green gram, and Soya bean are pulses (protein-rich legumes), while Rice is a cereal (carbohydrate-rich grain).
Explanation
(i) The chapter explains that jowar, bajra, and ragi are millets—small-sized grains that are native crops of India and good sources of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibres. Chana, on the other hand, is a pulse and a good source of protein as mentioned in the section on proteins. (ii) The chapter categorises pulses, beans, and peas as excellent plant sources of protein (body-building foods). Rice is classified under cereals like wheat and maize, which are primary sources of carbohydrates (energy-giving foods).
