SSC CHSL - 3rd July 2019 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q80

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: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. OKL

Understanding Application

The alphabets from A to Z takes numerical position value from 1 to 26.

Pattern:

(Sum of numerical position values of 1st and 3rd letter) - numerical position value of 2nd letter = an odd number

EZV: (5 + 22) – 26 = 1

OKL: (15 + 12) – 11 = 16 (Not an odd number)

UPF: (21 + 6) – 16 = 11

AVZ: (1 + 26) – 22 = 5

Hence, OKL is the odd one.
