Question

Choose the odd one out:

• A. UWY
• B. KNQ
• C. BEH
• D. SVY

Answer 1

Answer:

A. UWY

The odd one out is UWY

Step-by-Step Explanation

To find the pattern, let's look at the position of each letter in the English alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) and find the difference between consecutive letters in each group.

• UWY:

  • U (21) $\rightarrow$ W (23) $\rightarrow$ Y (25)

  • Difference: $+2$, $+2$

• KNQ:

  • K (11) $\rightarrow$ N (14) $\rightarrow$ Q (17)

  • Difference: $+3$, $+3$

• BEH:

  • B (2) $\rightarrow$ E (5) $\rightarrow$ H (8)

  • Difference: $+3$, $+3$

• SVY:

  • S (19) $\rightarrow$ V (22) $\rightarrow$ Y (25)

  • Difference: $+3$, $+3$

Every group except UWY follows a strict pattern of adding $+3$ to move to the next letter. UWY is the only group that uses a $+2$ pattern.
