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.

AA1@ : D4#: G7$

BB2% : E5^: H8&

CC3* : F6(:19)

DD4_: G8@: K13$

Answer:

D. D4_: G8@: K13$

Read Explanation:

Let’s compare the pattern in each group:

We check two things:

  1. Letters progress

  2. Numbers progress

  3. Symbols are irrelevant to the core pattern (just fillers)

  • Letters: D → G (+3), but G → K (+4)

  • Numbers: 4 → 8 (+4), 8 → 13 (+5)


Final Answer: D4_ : G8@ : K13$

It breaks the consistent “+3 letters and +3 numbers” pattern followed by the others.
