Three out of the following four are alike in a particular pattern and hence form a group. Find the one which does not belong to that group.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
WVWY:
W (23) → V (22) : -1
V (22) → W (23) : +1
W (23) → Y (25) : +2
(Pattern: -1, +1, +2)
DCDF:
D (4) → C (3) : -1
C (3) → D (4) : +1
D (4) → F (6) : +2
(Pattern: -1, +1, +2)
NMNP:
N (14) → M (13) : -1
M (13) → N (14) : +1
N (14) → P (16) : +2
(Pattern: -1, +1, +2)
JMPS:
J (10) → M (13) : +3
M (13) → P (16) : +3
P (16) → S (19) : +3
(Pattern: +3, +3, +3)
Therefore, the pattern of JMPS is completely different from the other three options.
