Question

Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which letter-cluster DOES NOT belong to that group? (Note: The odd man out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)

• A. BDG
• B. MOQ
• C. EGJ
• D. QSV

Answer 1

Answer:

B. MOQ

Check the alphabetical positions of the letters.

BDG

B(2) → D(4) → G(7)
+2, +3

MOQ

M(13) → O(15) → Q(17)
+2, +2

EGJ

E(5) → G(7) → J(10)
+2, +3

QSV

Q(17) → S(19) → V(22)
+2, +3

Pattern

Three clusters follow the pattern +2, +3:

• BDG ✔️

• EGJ ✔️

• QSV ✔️

But MOQ follows +2, +2, which is different.

Odd one out: MOQ
