From the given choices select the odd man out.
- A.
bb c MN
- B.
dd e OP
- C.
gg f QP
- D.
mm n WX
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
In a letter-series 'odd one out' question, each choice packs two mini letter-pairs — a lowercase pair and an uppercase pair. Check whether both pairs step by exactly one letter in the same direction (forward/ascending or backward/descending); the choice whose pairs step in a different direction from the shared majority is the odd one out.
Choice | Lowercase step | Uppercase step | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|
bb c MN | b → c | M → N | Forward (+1) |
dd e OP | d → e | O → P | Forward (+1) |
mm n WX | m → n | W → X | Forward (+1) |
gg f QP | g → f | Q → P | Backward (-1) |
bb c MN, dd e OP, and mm n WX all move forward by one letter in both pairs. Only gg f QP moves backward by one letter in both pairs, breaking the shared forward direction.
So gg f QP is the odd one out.
