Question

Find the odd one out:

• A. KMOQ
• B. SUWX
• C. ACEG
• D. IKMO

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve this logical reasoning problem, the task is to identify the odd one out from the given sets of letters: KMOQ, SUWX, ACEG, IKMO.

Let's analyze the pattern in each option: 

• KMOQ: Here, looking at the sequence and their positions in the English alphabet:
  • K (11), M (13), O (15), Q (17) - The difference between each consecutive letter is 2.
• SUWX: Evaluating the pattern:
  • S (19), U (21), W (23), X (24) - Here, the difference between S and U, U and W is 2, but between W and X is 1.
• ACEG: Checking the sequence:
  • A (1), C (3), E (5), G (7) - The difference between each letter is 2.
• IKMO: Analyzing the sequence:
  • I (9), K (11), M (13), O (15) - The difference between each letter is 2.

As we can see from the above evaluation:

• KMOQ, ACEG, IKMO all follow a pattern where the difference between the positions of consecutive letters is 2.
• However, in SUWX, the pattern fails as the difference changes between the last two letters (W and X), where the difference is 1.

Therefore, SUWX is the odd one out because it does not consistently follow the pattern of a difference of 2 between consecutive letters, unlike the others. Thus, the correct answer is SUWX.
