Given:
Four alternatives: DHLP, FNUB, BDFH, KVGR
To find:
The odd man out
Solution:
We can find the odd one out of the given alternatives by following the given process-
We know that the alike terms have something in common.
On considering the alternatives, we see that in DHLP, each letter comes after skipping the next three letters of the alphabet.
D-E, F, G-H- I, J, K-L- M, N, O-P
Similarly, in BDFH, there is a gap of one letter.
B-C-D-E-F-G-H.
In KVGR, there is a gap of ten letters.
K-L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U-V-W, X, Y, Z, A, B, C, D, E, F-G-H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q-R.
But in FNUB, there is an unequal gap between the letters.
So, it is the odd one out.
Therefore, FNUB is the odd man out.
