Question

Find the odd product out of the following:

• A. Pamper.
• B. Dove.
• C. Tide.
• D. Pantene.

Hint:

Three of the four brands share the same parent company; find the brand owned by a rival firm.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

This question tests whether the student can group well known consumer brands by the company that owns them. Three of the four brands belong to one company, while one belongs to a different company.

1. Pamper (Pampers): Pampers is a diaper brand owned by Procter and Gamble, usually shortened to P&G.
2. Dove: Dove is a soap and personal care brand owned by Unilever, a separate company from P&G.
3. Tide: Tide is a detergent brand owned by Procter and Gamble.
4. Pantene: Pantene is a hair care brand also owned by Procter and Gamble.

Pamper, Tide and Pantene are all Procter and Gamble brands, but Dove comes from Unilever. So Dove is the odd one out.

Let's summarize:

• Pampers, Tide and Pantene are all owned by Procter and Gamble.
• Dove is owned by Unilever, a rival consumer goods company.
• Grouping by parent company shows Dove does not belong with the other three.

The correct answer is option 2, Dove.
