    AE5

  2. B.

    DF6

  3. C.

    HN14

  4. D.

    KP18

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

In this alphanumeric anagram series, each item pairs two letters with a trailing number. In a correctly-formed item, the trailing number equals the alphabetical position of the second letter (A=1, B=2, ... Z=26). To find the odd one out, check whether this letter-to-number correspondence holds for every item -- the one item where it fails is the exception.

Item

Second letter (position)

Trailing number

Consistent?

AE5

E (5th)

5

Yes

DF6

F (6th)

6

Yes

HN14

N (14th)

14

Yes

KP18

P (16th)

18

No -- mismatch

Checking against the first letter of each pair (A, D, H, K) shows no fixed relationship to the trailing number, confirming the intended rule is the second-letter check. Under that rule, exactly one item -- the one with trailing number 18 -- fails to match; every other item matches its second letter's position exactly.

Since KP18 breaks the pattern that AE5, DF6 and HN14 all satisfy, KP18 is the odd one out.
