SSC CGL - 12 Sep 2024 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q90

Three of the following four are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that does NOT belong to that group? The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter cluster.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

Logic: 1st letter + 5 = 2nd letter; 2nd letter + 3 = 3rd letter.

Option 1) JOR → J + 5 = O; O + 3 = R

Option 2) AFI → A + 5 = F; F + 3 = I

Option 3) MRU → M + 5 = R; R +  3 = U

Option 4) LQS → L + 5 = Q; Q + 3 = T (Not S)
