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 one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)

• A. KOI
• B. MTW
• C. LPJ
• D. OSM

Answer 1

Answer:

B. MTW

Let’s check the pattern using alphabetical positions:

A=1, B=2, … Z=26

KOI

K(11), O(15), I(9)
Pattern: +4, −6

MTW

M(13), T(20), W(23)
Pattern: +7, +3

LPJ

L(12), P(16), J(10)
Pattern: +4, −6

OSM

O(15), S(19), M(13)
Pattern: +4, −6

Compare patterns

• A, C, D → +4, −6 ✔

• B → +7, +3 (different)

  = MTW
