Solution:

The pattern followed here is :

{1st letter + 4 = 2nd letter}, {2nd letter + 4 = 3rd letter} & {3rd letter + 4 = 4th letter}

AEIM → (A + 4 = E), (E + 4 = I) & (I + 4 = M)

(120 : 300) → Ratio of 120 : 300 = 2 : 5

(16 : 40) → Ratio of 16 : 40 = 2 : 5

But,

(320 : 480) → Ratio of 320 : 480 = 2 : 3 ≠ 2 : 5

Hence, (320 : 480) is the odd one.
