In the following question, four groups of three numbers are given. In each group, the second and third numbers are related to the first number by a Logic/Rule/Relation. Three are similar on the basis of the same Logic/Rule/Relation. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives.
- A(23, 28, 33)
- B(14, 19, 25)
- C(26, 31, 36)
- D(17, 22, 27)
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's calculate the difference between the numbers within each group:
Option A: 28−23=5 and 33−28=5→ Pattern is (+5,+5)
Option B: 19−14=5 and 25−19=6→ Pattern is (+5,+6)
Option C: 31−26=5 and 36−31=5→ Pattern is (+5,+5)
Option D: 22−17=5 and 27−22=5→ Pattern is (+5,+5)
Every group except Option B follows a uniform progression layout of adding +5 step-by-step.
Option A: 28−23=5 and 33−28=5→ Pattern is (+5,+5)
