Four letter-clusters have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the one that is different.

Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter cluster.

Question

Four letter-clusters have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the one that is different.

Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter cluster.

Accepted Answer

Let's analyze the letter clusters: 1) WUQ, 2) YWT, 3) ZXU, 4) XVS.

Step 1: Check the alphabetical positions of letters in each cluster.  
- W(23), U(21), Q(17)
- Y(25), W(23), T(20)
- Z(26), X(24), U(21)
- X(24), V(22), S(19)

Step 2: Calculate the differences between consecutive letters in each cluster:
- WUQ: 23 to 21 = -2, 21 to 17 = -4
- YWT: 25 to 23 = -2, 23 to 20 = -3
- ZXU: 26 to 24 = -2, 24 to 21 = -3
- XVS: 24 to 22 = -2, 22 to 19 = -3

Step 3: Observe the pattern:  
In clusters 2, 3, and 4, the first difference is -2 and the second difference is -3.  
In cluster 1, the first difference is -2 but the second difference is -4.

Hence, WUQ is the odd one out because its second difference between letters is different from the others.
