Based on the alphabetical order,
Based on the alphabetical order, three of the following four are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that 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)
अंग्रेज़ी वर्णमाला क्रम के आधार पर, निम्नलिखित चार अक्षर-समूहों में से तीन किसी निश्चित तरीके से एकसमान हैं और इस प्रकार वे एक समूह बनाते हैं। कौन-सा अक्षर-समूह उस समूह से संबंधित नहीं है? (नोट: असंगत अक्षर-समूह व्यंजनों/स्वरों की संख्या या उनकी स्थिति पर आधारित नहीं है।)
Detailed Solution & Logic
VZC
We are given:
VZC, KPS, GLO, NSV
We are to find the odd one out, based on alphabetical order logic (not vowels/consonants or position in cluster).
Step 1: Convert letters to their positions in the alphabet
| Letter | Position |
|---|---|
| V | 22 |
| Z | 26 |
| C | 3 |
| K | 11 |
| P | 16 |
| S | 19 |
| G | 7 |
| L | 12 |
| O | 15 |
| N | 14 |
| S | 19 |
| V | 22 |
Step 2: Find the pattern in differences
We check difference between consecutive letters in each cluster:
-
VZC → V→Z = +4, Z→C = +3 (wrap around 26→1)
-
V(22) → Z(26) = +4 ✅
-
Z(26) → C(3) = +3 ✅
-
-
KPS → K→P = +5, P→S = +3
-
K(11) → P(16) = +5 ✅
-
P(16) → S(19) = +3 ✅
-
-
GLO → G→L = +5, L→O = +3
-
G(7) → L(12) = +5 ✅
-
L(12) → O(15) = +3 ✅
-
-
NSV → N→S = +5, S→V = +3
-
N(14) → S(19) = +5 ✅
-
S(19) → V(22) = +3 ✅
-
Step 3: Identify the odd one out
-
KPS, GLO, NSV → differences: +5, +3 ✅ (pattern consistent)
-
VZC → differences: +4, +3 ❌ (does not follow +5, +3 pattern)
Answer:
VZC is the odd one out.
