SSC CPO - 10 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q183

Based on the position in the English alphabetical order, three of the following  letterclusters are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the odd letter-cluster.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. JMPT.

The logic used here is:

1st letter + 3 = 2nd letter

2nd letter + 4 = 3rd letter

3rd letter + 3 = 4th letter

Option 1: BEIL

B + 3 = E

E + 4 = I

I + 3 = L

This follows the logic.

Option 2: LOSV

L + 3 = O

O + 4 = S

S + 3 = V

This follows the logic.

Option 3: FIMP

F + 3 = I

I + 4 = M

M + 3 = P

This follows the logic.

Option 4: JMPT

J + 3 = M

M + 4 = Q

Q + 3 = T

This does not follow the logic.

Hence, option 4 is the odd one out.
