Find the odd one out: (Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels.)
ACE
GIK
MOQ
RTW
RTW
Convert all letters to their positional values (A=1, B=2, etc.) and check for a constant gap between consecutive letters in the sequence.
Convert all letters to their positional values (A=1, B=2, etc.) and check for a constant gap between consecutive letters in the sequence.
Analyze the alphabetical positions
Convert letters to numbers: A=1, C=3, E=5; G=7, I=9, K=11; M=13, O=15, Q=17; R=18, T=20, W=23.
Calculate the differences between consecutive letters
For ACE: (3-1)=2, (5-3)=2. For GIK: (9-7)=2, (11-9)=2. For MOQ: (15-13)=2, (17-15)=2. For RTW: (20-18)=2, but (23-20)=3.
A: Gaps are +2, +2, consistent with the pattern; B: Gaps are +2, +2, consistent with the pattern; C: Gaps are +2, +2, consistent with the pattern.
D is correct because it is the only option where the gap between the second and third letter is +3 instead of +2.
When checking sequences of three letters, always check the difference between the 1st-2nd and 2nd-3rd letters immediately to detect breakages in arithmetic progression.
