Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which letter-cluster does not belong to that group?
(Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)
- A.
PUV
- B.
GKM
- C.
WAC
- D.
KOQ
Attempted by 106 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Check the alphabetical position gaps for each letter cluster.
Option A (PUV): P(16) + 5 = U(21); U(21) + 1 = V(22). (Gaps: +5, +1)
Option B (GKM): G(7) + 4 = K(11); K(11) + 2 = M(13). (Gaps: +4, +2)
Option C (WAC): W(23) + 4 = A(27/1); A(1) + 2 = C(3). (Gaps: +4, +2)
Option D (KOQ): K(11) + 4 = O(15); O(15) + 2 = Q(17). (Gaps: +4, +2)
Step 2: Options B, C, and D follow a uniform logic (+4, +2). Option A does not, making it the odd one out.
Final Answer: Option A
