SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 8 - Question 3

Directions: Three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and one is different. Pick the odd one out.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 8 - Question 3
The pattern in this letter cluster is to move ahead by 5 letters, then by 4 letters, then by 3 letters and lastly, by 2 letters.
For example,
P + 5 = U
U + 4 = Y
Y + 3 = B
B + 2 = D
This pattern holds true in options (1), (2) and (3) only, as in option (4), T + 5 = Y, but Y + 4 = C (not B).
Therefore, option (4) is the odd one out.
SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 8 - Question 4
Four letter clusters have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the odd letter cluster.
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 8 - Question 4
In option 1: B + 5 = G; G + 5 = L; L + 5 = Q
So, the word is BGLQ.
In option 2: O + 5 = T; T + 5 = Y; Y + 5 = D
So, the word is OTYD.
In option 3: K + 5 = P; P + 5 = U; U + 5 = Z
So, the word is KPUZ.
In option 4: H + 5 = M; M + 5 = R; R + 4 = V
Thus, it can be seen that 'HMRV' do not follow the same pattern as the other ones, i.e. adding 5 to each letter. Rather it added 4 at the end.
Hence, 'HMRV' is the odd one out.
∴ The correct answer is option 4.
