Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

RTV

Solution :

The correct answer is RTV.


To find the odd one out, let us analyze the pattern of the letter positions in the English alphabet for each given option:


1. GIJ:

Position of G = 7

Position of I = 9 (7 + 2)

Position of J = 10 (9 + 1)

Pattern: (+2, +1)


2. TVW:

Position of T = 20

Position of V = 22 (20 + 2)

Position of W = 23 (22 + 1)

Pattern: (+2, +1)


3. CEF:

Position of C = 3

Position of E = 5 (3 + 2)

Position of F = 6 (5 + 1)

Pattern: (+2, +1)


4. UWX:

Position of U = 21

Position of W = 23 (21 + 2)

Position of X = 24 (23 + 1)

Pattern: (+2, +1)


5. RTV:

Position of R = 18

Position of T = 20 (18 + 2)

Position of V = 22 (20 + 2)

Pattern: (+2, +2)


All options except RTV follow the rule where the second letter is obtained by moving forward by 2 positions and the third letter is obtained by moving forward by 1 position (+2, +1). RTV follows the pattern (+2, +2), making it the odd one out.
