Understanding the Grouping
To determine which option does not belong to the group, we need to analyze the letters in each option based on their positions in the English alphabet.
Analyzing Each Option
- a) BCDF
- B(2), C(3), D(4), F(6)
- The letters are in consecutive positions with one letter missing (E).
- b) KJNL
- J(10), K(11), N(14), L(12)
- The letters do not follow a consecutive order, but there are no skips as J to K is +1, K to L is +1, and L to N is +2.
- c) RSTU
- R(18), S(19), T(20), U(21)
- The letters are all consecutive without any skips.
- d) WXYZ
- W(23), X(24), Y(25), Z(26)
- The letters are also in consecutive positions.
- e) FGHP
- F(6), G(7), H(8), P(16)
- The letters start in consecutive positions (F, G, H) but then skip to P.
Identifying the Odd One Out
- C) RSTU is the only group that consists entirely of consecutive letters without any skips or jumps.
Conclusion
The odd one out is RSTU, as it represents a complete sequence of consecutive letters, unlike the others which either have skips or breaks in the sequence.
In summary, options a, b, d, and e contain at least one missing letter or a gap, while c is a complete sequence.
