We are shown three pictures and asked to identify which one of them is not like others.

Let us find the ratio of width and length of each inscribed cricle.

Picture L:

Width = 3 units

Length = 4 units

Ratio = 3/4 = 0.75

Picture M:

Width = 4 units

Length = 8 units

Ratio = 4/8 = 0.50

Picture N:

Width = 9 units

Length = 12 units

Ratio = 9/12 = 0.75

As you can see, picture L and N has the same ratio of width and length that is 0.75 but the picture M has a different ratio of width and length that is 0.50

Therefore, we can conclude that picture M is not like others.
