Based on the English 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.)
-
A.
FHD
-
B.
VST
-
C.
ZWX
-
D.
NKL
Correct Answer:
A. FHD
Explanation:
The logic follows a consistent pattern of shifting each letter backward in the English alphabet. For the pair SKIB to OGNG: S moves back 4 positions to O, K moves back 4 to G, I moves back 4 to E (though the example shows N, the consistent pattern across other pairs is -4), and B moves back 4 to X (though the example shows G, we look for a consistent shift).
Applying this -4 shift logic more reliably to the second pair CUCV to YQHA:
C (-4) = Y
U (-4) = Q
C (-4) = Y (though the example shows H, indicating a potential alternating shift)
V (-4) = R (though the example shows A)
Looking at the relationship for QIRK:
Q (-4) = M
I (-4) = E
R (-4) = N (or W if following a specific sequence)
K (-4) = G
Comparing the options MWEP, MWPE, MEPW, and MEWP, the sequence follows a -4, -4, +5, +5 or similar positional shift pattern. Specifically:
Q (-4) = M
I (-4) = E
R (+5) = W
K (+5) = P
Therefore, the correct related term for QIRK is MEWP.
