Choose the odd one out of the given options.
- ARGD
- BHIL
- CEKM
- DQSC
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let us evaluate the position values of the letters in each option:
Option A: RGD →R=18,G=7,D=4. Here, 18−7=11 and 7−4=3.
Option B: HIL →H=8,I=9,L=12. Here, 8+1=9 and 9+3=12.
Let's test standard alphabetical properties or vowels/consonants. None of the options contains a uniform mathematical gap. Let's look closely at standard pattern recognition:
Notice the vowels: Only HIL and EKM contain a vowel (I and E).
Let's look at the sum of position values:
RGD: 18+7+4=29
HIL: 8+9+12=29
EKM: 5+11+13=29
QSC: 17+19+3=39
The sum of positions for RGD, HIL, and EKM is exactly 29, whereas for QSC it is 39. Therefore, QSC is the odd one out.
