Question

Identify the Odd One Out from the options provided below:

• A. VABK
• B. NSTC
• C. LQRA
• D. QVWE
• E. EJKT

Hint:

Anomaly detection algorithms in AI function similarly to this process—they establish a baseline logic vector (like the +5, +1, +9 pattern) and flag data points that deviate from the learned latent space.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Analyze the alphabetical shifts between the letters.
Convert letters to their numerical positions (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).
V(22) $\xrightarrow{+5}$ A(1) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ B(2) $\xrightarrow{+9}$ K(11)
N(14) $\xrightarrow{+5}$ S(19) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ T(20) $\xrightarrow{+9}$ C(3)
L(12) $\xrightarrow{+5}$ Q(17) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ R(18) $\xrightarrow{+9}$ A(1)
E(5) $\xrightarrow{+5}$ J(10) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ K(11) $\xrightarrow{+9}$ T(20)

Step 2: Check the outlier.
Q(17) $\xrightarrow{+5}$ V(22) $\xrightarrow{+1}$ W(23) $\xrightarrow{+8}$ E(5)
QVWE uses a +8 shift at the end instead of the standard +9 shift.
