Classification - General Inteligence & Reasoning MCQ Questions and Answers

In all other groups, there is a gap of three letters between every two consecutive letters.

In all other groups, the first and second letters occupy the same positions from the beginning and end of the alphabet, and so do the third and fourth letters.

Each of the other groups contains one small letter.

All other groups consist of alternate letters, though not in order.

In all other groups, each letter moves 3 steps forward to obtain the next letter.

In all other groups, the number of letters skipped between adjacent letters is uniform.

Let's break down this question to find the odd one out!
We need to look for a pattern in the letters of each option.
Let's look at the differences between the letters in each option:
Option A: CGON
* C to G: +4
* G to O: +8
* O to N: -1
Option B: FJQP
* F to J: +4
* J to Q: +7
* Q to P: -1
Option C: HLTS
* H to L: +4
* L to T: +8
* T to S: -1
Option D: LPXW
* L to P: +4
* P to X: +8
* X to W: -1
Notice that Options A, C and D have the same pattern +4, +8, -1.
While Option B shows the pattern of +4,+7, -1.
Therefore, the odd one out is Option B: FJQP because it doesn't follow the same pattern as the others.
So, the correct answer is B.

All other groups consist of four consecutive letters, though not in order.

This is the only group containing the four consecutive letters in the correct alphabetical order.

In all other groups, the letters are alternate.
