Question

    Four letter-clusters are given out of which three are

    alike in some manner and one is different. Select the odd-one out.
    A HJMQ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B FHKP Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C NPSW Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D BDGK Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed here is: First letter moves 2 places forward, second moves 3 places forward, and the third moves 4 places forward.   HJMQ – H (8) + 2 = J (10) + 3 = M (13) + 4 = Q (17) FHKP – F (6) + 2 = H (8) + 3 = K (11) + 5 = P (16) NPSW – N (14) + 2 = P (16) + 3 = S (19) + 4 = W (23) BDGK – B (2) + 2 = D (4) + 3 = G (7) + 4 = K (11)   Thus, the odd one is FHKP. Hence, the correct answer is (B).
