Four letter clusters have been given out of which three are alike in some manner, while one is different. Choose the odd one.
- ARUVX
- BGHJK
- CMPQS
- DFIJL
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's evaluate the alphabetical positional differences for each option:
Option A: RUVX
R(18)→U(21):+3
U(21)→V(22):+1
V(22)→X(24):+2
Pattern: +3,+1,+2
Option B: GHJK
G(7)→H(8):+1
H(8)→J(10):+2
J(10)→K(11):+1
Pattern: +1,+2,+1
Option C: MPQS
M(13)→P(16):+3
P(16)→Q(17):+1
Q(17)→S(19):+2
Pattern: +3,+1,+2
Option D: FIJL
F(6)→I(9):+3
I(9)→J(10):+1
J(10)→L(12):+2
Pattern: +3,+1,+2
Options A, C, and D follow the uniform pattern +3,+1,+2, whereas Option B follows +1,+2,+1. Hence, GHJK is the odd one.

Option C: MPQS
M(13)→P(16):+3
P(16)→Q(17):+1
Q(17)→S(19):+2
Pattern: +3,+1,+2
Option D: FIJL
F(6)→I(9):+3
I(9)→J(10):+1
J(10)→L(12):+2
Pattern: +3,+1,+2
Options A, C, and D follow the uniform pattern +3,+1,+2, whereas Option B follows +1,+2,+1. Hence, GHJK is the odd one.
