Question (English)

Four letter-clusters have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the letter-cluster that is different.
Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter cluster.

  1. PSUV
  2. BEHI ✓ Correct
  3. FIKL
  4. TWYZ
Explanation:

Let's analyze the positional difference between the letters in each option:

  1. PSUV: P (16) $\xrightarrow{+3}$ S (19) $\xrightarrow{+2}$ U (21) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ V (22)
    Pattern: $+3, +2, +1$
  2. BEHI: B (2) $\xrightarrow{+3}$ E (5) $\xrightarrow{+3}$ H (8) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ I (9)
    Pattern: $+3, +3, +1$
  3. FIKL: F (6) $\xrightarrow{+3}$ I (9) $\xrightarrow{+2}$ K (11) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ L (12)
    Pattern: $+3, +2, +1$
  4. TWYZ: T (20) $\xrightarrow{+3}$ W (23) $\xrightarrow{+2}$ Y (25) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ Z (26)
    Pattern: $+3, +2, +1$

Option (2) BEHI is the odd one out because it follows a different pattern ($+3, +3, +1$).

प्रश्न (हिंदी)

चार अक्षर-समूह दिए गए हैं, जिनमें से तीन किसी न किसी रूप में समान हैं और एक भिन्न है। उस अक्षर-समूह का चयन करें जो भिन्न है।
नोट: विषम का चयन स्वरों/व्यंजनों की संख्या या अक्षर समूह में उनकी स्थिति पर आधारित नहीं है।

  1. PSUV
  2. BEHI
  3. FIKL
  4. TWYZ
स्पष्टीकरण:

आइए प्रत्येक विकल्प में अक्षरों के बीच के अंतर (gap) को देखें:

  1. PSUV: P (16) $\xrightarrow{+3}$ S (19) $\xrightarrow{+2}$ U (21) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ V (22)
    पैटर्न: $+3, +2, +1$
  2. BEHI: B (2) $\xrightarrow{+3}$ E (5) $\xrightarrow{+3}$ H (8) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ I (9)
    पैटर्न: $+3, +3, +1$
  3. FIKL: F (6) $\xrightarrow{+3}$ I (9) $\xrightarrow{+2}$ K (11) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ L (12)
    पैटर्न: $+3, +2, +1$
  4. TWYZ: T (20) $\xrightarrow{+3}$ W (23) $\xrightarrow{+2}$ Y (25) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ Z (26)
    पैटर्न: $+3, +2, +1$

विकल्प (2) BEHI सबसे अलग है क्योंकि यह एक अलग पैटर्न ($+3, +3, +1$) का अनुसरण करता है, जबकि अन्य सभी $+3, +2, +1$ का पैटर्न फॉलो करते हैं।
