The word 'galaxy' originates from the Greek word 'galaxias' (γαλαξίας), meaning 'milky,' which refers to the Milky Way's appearance as a band of light. Latin uses a different root, and the term predates both Russian and English as established scientific vocabulary. English adopted the word via Greek and Latin influences.

This analogy tests category relationships: pear and apple are both tree fruits, just as potato and radish are both root vegetables. The parallel is between subcategories within the same broader classification (fruits vs. root crops). Banana, strawberry, peach are fruits, and lettuce is a leafy vegetable - none maintain the analogy.

Divya Bharti, the Indian actress who starred in films in the early 1990s, was born on February 25, 1974. The other dates are incorrect - April 9, December 25, and February 10 do not match her birth date. This is biographical entertainment trivia.

Door is the odd one out because it is a structural entry/exit point rather than a covering. Curtain, veil, shutter, and screen are all types of coverings used to hide, reveal, or filter access to something else (windows, openings, displays). A door serves as the actual passage itself, not merely a covering.

In traditional paint color theory (RYB model used by artists), the primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. Secondary colors are created by mixing two primaries: green (blue+yellow), orange (red+yellow), and purple/violet (red+blue). Pink, brown, and white are not standard secondary colors - pink is a tint of red, brown is a tertiary shade, and white is technically not a pigment color.

Divya Bharti's film debut was in the Telugu film 'Bobbili Raja' (1990) before she entered Bollywood. Her first Hindi film was 'Vishwatma' (1992), but 'Bobbili Raja' remains her actual debut across all languages. The other films are incorrect - 'Gunao Ka Devta,' 'Aatank Hi Aatank,' and 'Phool Aur Pathar' were not her debut.

Calculate step by step: one-tenth of 400 is 40, one-quarter of 40 is 10, and one-half of 10 is 5. Working backwards through the fractional operations: 400 ÷ 10 = 40, then 40 ÷ 4 = 10, then 10 ÷ 2 = 5. Options 2, 8, 10, and 40 are incorrect results of miscalculating the order or operations.

In the classic film 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro' (1983), the protagonists Vinod (Naseeruddin Shah) and Sudhir (Ravi Baswani) are photographers who work for the magazine 'Khabardar.' This publication becomes central to the plot as they uncover a scandal. The other publications - 'Savantra Bharat,' 'Mumbai Express,' and 'Janta ki Awaaj' - are fictional or incorrect.

Divya Bharti's first Hindi (Bollywood) film was 'Vishwatma' (1992), directed by Rajiv Rai. While her actual film debut was in Telugu with 'Bobbili Raja' (1990), the question specifically asks for her Hindi movie debut. 'Shole Aur Shabnam,' 'Prem,' and 'Radha Ka Sangam' are not her first Hindi films.

The sequence lists prime numbers in ascending order: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17. The next two primes are 19 and 23. Numbers like 21, 25, and 27 are composite (divisible by 3 or 5), so they cannot appear in this prime number sequence.
