Question

In each of the following questions, a group of three numbers/ symbols is given in each option. Identify the group that does NOT follow the same pattern as the others.

• A. Z1# : Y2@ : X3$
• B. W4% : V5^ : U6&
• C. T7* : S8( : R9)
• D. Q10_: P9@:O8$

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Q10_: P9@:O8$

Observe the pattern in the first three groups:

Z1# : Y2@ : X3$<br></p><p data-pxy="true" style="color: rgb(0,0,0); margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px;">Letters decrease:<br>$Z \to Y \to X$<br></p><p data-pxy="true" style="color: rgb(0,0,0); margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px;">Numbers increase:<br>$1 \to 2 \to 3

Symbols follow sequence:
#,\ @,\

W4% : V5^ : U6&

Letters decrease:
$W \to V \to U$

Numbers increase:
$4 \to 5 \to 6$

---

T7* : S8( : R9)

Letters decrease:
$T \to S \to R$

Numbers increase:
$7 \to 8 \to 9$

Q10_ : P9@ : O8

Here the numbers decrease:
$10 \to 9 \to 8$

So this group does not follow the same pattern.

Therefore, the odd group is:

Q10_ : P9@ : O8
