SSC CPO - 23 Nov 2020 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q180

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

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. OMSVY.

The logic used here is:

1st letter + 3 = 2nd letter

2nd letter + 3 = 3rd letter

3rd letter + 3 = 4th letter

4th letter + 3 = 5th letter

Option 1: CFILO

C + 3 = F

F + 3 = I

I + 3 = L

L + 3 = O

This follows the logic.

Option 2: UXADG

U + 3 = X

X + 3 = A

A + 3 = D

D + 3 = G

This follows the logic.

Option 3: OMSVY

O + 3 = R

R + 3 = U

U + 3 = X

X + 3 = A

This does not follow the logic.

Hence, option 3 is the odd one out.
