Odd One Out (SSC CPO 2022 Tier – 1)

• In EIO → E + 4 = I, I + 6 = O
• In YCI → Y + 4 = C, C + 6 = I
• In PTY → P + 4 = T, T + 5 = Y
• In DHN → D + 4 = H, H + 6 = N

Hence, we can see that all are following the same logic except PTY.

• In HSP → H = S, S - 3 = P
• In JQT → Q + 3 = T
• In FUR → F + U, O - 3 = R
• In LOL → L = O, O - 3 = L
• Clearly, we can see that JQT is the odd one.

• In XUSO → X - 3 = U, U - 2 = S, S - 4 = O
• In NKHE → N - 3 = K, K - 3 = H, H - 3 = E
• In MJGD → M - 3 = J, J - 3 = G, G - 3 = D
• In WTQN → W - 3 = T, T - 3 = Q, Q - 3 = N
• So, we can see that all are following the same pattern except XUSO.

• In QMKH → Q - 4 = M, M - 2 = K, K - 3 = H
• In PLJG → P - 4 = L, L - 2 = J, J - 3 = G
• In ZTSQ → Z - 6 = T, T - 1 = S, S - 2 = Q
• In WSQN → W - 4 = S, S - 2 = Q, Q - 3 = N
• Hence, we can clearly see that ZTSQ is not following the pattern.

• XTZ → X - 4 = T and X + 2 = Z
• PLR → P - 4 = L and P + 2 = R
• GCI → G - 4 = C and G + 2 = I
• IFK → I + 2 = K and I - 4 ≠ F (not follows)

• PSTZ → P + 3 = S, S + 1 = T, T + 6 = Z
• ADEJ → A + 3 = D, D + 1 = E, E + 5 = J
• LOPU → L + 3 = O, O + 1 = P, P + 5 = U
• FIJO → F + 3 = I, I + 1 = J, J + 5 = O
• PSTZ Correct answer.

In PKN → P→opposite→K, and K + 3 = N

In EUY → E→not opposite→U, and U + 3 ≠ Y

In DWZ → D→opposite→W, and W + 3 = Z

In JQT → J→ opposite →Q, and Q + 3 = T

Hence, EUY is the odd one.

In XVSO → X - 2 = V, V - 3 = S, S - 4 = O

In NLIE → N - 2 = L, L - 3 = I, I - 4 = E

In JHFA → J - 2 = H, H - 3 ≠ F, F - 4 ≠ A

We can clearly see that all are following the same pattern except JHFA.

In VYS → V + 3 = Y, Y - 6 = S

In PSM → P + 3 = S, S - 6 = M

In ROL → R - 3 = O, O - 3 = L

It is clear that all are following the same pattern except ROL.

• In JPN → J + 6 = P, P - 2 = N
• In MSQ → M + 6 = S, S - 2 = Q
• In CJI → C + 7 = J, J - 1 = I
• In QWU → Q + 6 = W, W - 2 = U
  • Hence, we can see that all are following the same pattern except CJI.
