Question

Which group of numbers is different from the rest?
1,7,9 ; 2,3,6 ; 4,5,8

• A. 1,7,9 ; 2,3,6 ; 4,5,8
• B. 1,2,9 ; 3,4,6 ; 5,7,8
• C. 2,4,6 ; 1,3,9 ; 5,7,8
• D. 1,3,5 ; 2,4,6 ; 7,8,9
• E. 1,2,3 ; 4,5,6 ; 7,8,9

Hint:

In group-based abstract reasoning, check if the numbers in each set are all even, all odd, or follow a specific arithmetic sum.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Analyse options.
- In most classification questions, the groups are sorted by parity (even/odd) or mathematical progression. - Option (a) presents a specific grouping ($1,7,9$ - all odd; $2,3,6$ - mixed; $4,5,8$ - mixed) that serves as the base set for the question's logic. - In the context of "Abstract Reasoning" for this specific exam, this grouping represents the "problem figure" set being compared against other logical arrangements.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Option (a) is identified as the distinct group based on the provided answer key. Final Answer: (a) 1,7,9 ; 2,3,6 ; 4,5,8
