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 letter-cluster is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)

  1. A
    CGE
  2. B
    MQO
  3. C
    GKI
  4. D
    KON

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's find the difference between the alphabetical positional values of the letters in each cluster:
1. CGE:
* C (3) G (7)
* G (7) E (5)
Pattern:

2. MQO:
* M (13) Q (17)
* Q (17) O (15)
Pattern:

3. GKI:
* G (7) K (11)
* K (11) I (9)
Pattern:

4. KON:
* K (11) O (15)
* O (15) N (14)
Pattern:

All clusters follow the pattern except for KON, which follows . Therefore, KON is the odd one out.
