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. A1 @ : C3#: E5$
• B. B2% : D4^ : F6&
• C. C3* : E5(: G7)
• D. D4_: F6@: I9&

Answer 1

Answer:

D. D4_: F6@: I9&

Let’s look at the pattern in each group.

We check the number–letter matching rule:

Alphabet positions:

• A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9

Option A

A1 @ → A=1 ✔ (matches 1)
C3 # → C=3 ✔
E5 $ → E=5 ✔
✔ Follows pattern

Option B

B2 % → B=2 ✔
D4 ^ → D=4 ✔
F6 & → F=6 ✔
✔ Follows pattern

Option C

C3 * → C=3 ✔
E5 ( → E=5 ✔
G7 ) → G=7 ✔
✔ Follows pattern

Option D

D4 _ → D=4 ✔
F6 @ → F=6 ✔
19 & → Problem here:

• “19” does not correspond to a single letter in the same format (A–Z mapping breaks)

✔ This group breaks the pattern.

Final Answer: D
