Question

Identify the Odd One Out:

• A. GSFHJ
• B. FGHJS
• C. JSFGH
• D. HJSFG
• E. SFGHJ

Hint:

Look for patterns like consecutive letters, cyclic shifts, or common sequences.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Analyzing Patterns:
Look at the sequence of letters.
Option (B) FGHJS: letters F, G, H, J, S — in alphabetical order except S is out of place? Actually F, G, H are consecutive, then J, then S.
Option (C) JSFGH: J, S, F, G, H — F, G, H are consecutive but not at start.
Option (D) HJSFG: H, J, S, F, G — F, G are consecutive at end.
Option (E) SFGHJ: S, F, G, H, J — F, G, H, J are almost consecutive (F,G,H,J).
Option (A) GSFHJ: G, S, F, H, J — no clear consecutive pattern.
Another approach: Check alphabetical order when arranged:
All options contain the same set of letters: F, G, H, J, S.
The odd one is where the letters are not in a cyclic order or have a different pattern. Typically, in such questions, the odd one is the one where the sequence does not follow a consistent shift pattern.
Observing: (B), (C), (D), (E) all have three consecutive letters (F,G,H) appearing together somewhere. (A) does not have F,G,H together.
Thus, (A) is the odd one out.
