Find out the odd word/letters/number/number pair from the given alternatives.
- ABC
- BIF
- CCL
- DGH
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's convert the letter pairs into their numerical alphabetical positions:
BC→B=2,C=3⟹2×3=6
IF→I=9,F=6⟹9×6=54
CL→C=3,L=12⟹3×12=36
GH→G=7,H=8⟹7×8=56
Let's look closely at the product or properties:
Alternatively, check the step/difference between the positions:
BC→3−2=1
IF→6−9=−3
CL→12−3=9
GH→8−7=1
Let us analyze the position values directly:
B=2, C=3 (both consecutive numbers)
G=7, H=8 (both consecutive numbers)
I=9, F=6 (both are multiples of 3)
C=3, L=12 (both are multiples of 3)
Let's test another logic based on the alphabetical order:
In pairs BC and GH, the letters are in increasing alphabetical order (BF (decreasing).
Let's analyze the sum of values:
B+C=2+3=5
I+F=9+6=15
C+L=3+12=15
G+H=7+8=15
Notice that for options B, C, and D, the sum of the numerical positions of the letters is exactly 15.
For option A (BC), the sum is 5.
Therefore, BC is the odd pair out.
BC→B=2,C=3⟹2×3=6
IF→I=9,F=6⟹9×6=54
CL→C=3,L=12⟹3×12=36
