In the following question, four groups of three numbers are given. In each group, the second and third number 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 find the common difference pattern inside each triplet (n

):
(23,28,33)→23
+5
28
+5
33
(14,19,25)→14

(26,31,36)→26

(17,22,27)→17

27
All groups follow the pattern +5,+5 except group B, which follows +5,+6. Thus, (14, 19, 25) is the odd one out.
