Question

Choose the odd one out of the following: BCEI, CEGK, EGKM, GKMQ

Answer 1

Answer:

The odd one is BCEI

Explanation:

• The first one is BCEI

- B (+1) C (+2) E (+4) I

• The second one is CEGK

- C (+2) E (+2) G (+4) K

• The third one is EGKM

- E (+2) G (+4) K (+2) M

• The fourth one is GKMQ

- G (+4) K (+2) M (+4) Q

We see that the steps needed to be counted to get next letters include (+2) and (+4) from the last three terms but only for the first one BCEI, it is (+1) which is difference from the rest three's.

Hence the odd one is BCEI
