    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.)

    A.

    PTV

    B.

    EJH

    C.

    XCA

    D.

    LQO

    Correct option is A

    Given: Four letter-clusters with one being different from the others.
    Logic: By observing the patterns (+5, -2 ),
    (a) PTV
    P (16) → +4 → T (20)
    T (20) → + 2 → V (22)
    (b) EJH
    E (5) → +5 → J (10)
    J (10) → -2 → H (8)
    (c) XCA
    X (24) → +5 → C (3) (Wraps around alphabet)
    C (3) → -2 → A (1)
    (d) LQO
    L (12) → +5 → Q (17)
    Q (17) → -2 → O (15)
    EJH, LQO, and XCA follow the "+5, -2" rule consistently.
    PTV does not follow this pattern correctly.
    Correct answer is (a)
