SSC Selection Post 2025 PYQ — Question 81

SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 2nd August 2025 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q81

Which letter does not follow the pattern in the following series?
A, D, G, J, M, P, S, T, W, Z

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A(1), D(4), G(7), J(10), M(13), P(16), S(19), T(20), W(23), Z(26)

This pattern is +3 each time:

A → D → G → J → M → P → S → V → Y...

But here, after S (19), +3 should be V (22), whereas the given letter is T (20).

So, the wrong/out-of-pattern letter is: T
