    Question

    In each of the following word-number pairs, the number represents the sum of the alphabetical positions of the letters in the word (A = 1, B = 2 ,..., z = 26 . Four of the pairs follow this rule exactly. One does not. Identify the odd one out.
    STONE: 73
    GLASS: 58
    BRICK: 44
    WALL: 48
    CEMENT: 60

    A.

    BRICK: 44

    B.

    GLASS: 58

    C.

    WALL: 48

    D.

    STONE: 73

    Correct option is A

    Given
    STONE: 73
    GLASS: 58
    BRICK: 43
    WALL: 48
    CEMENT: 60 ​​
    Logic: Sum of place value of letters = Number
    For, STONE: 73
    19 + 20 + 15 + 14 + 5 = 73
    73 = 73
    For, GLASS : 58
    7 + 12 + 1 + 19 + 19 = 58
    58 = 58
    For, BRICK : 44
    2 + 18 + 9 + 3 + 11 = 43
    43 \neq​ 44​
    For, WALL - 48
    23 + 1 +12 + 12 = 48
    48 = 48
    For, CEMENT - 60
    3 + 5 + 13 + 5 + 14 + 20 = 60
    60 = 60
    So, option (a) is odd one out. Because BRICK = 43 \neq 44​
    Thus, correct option is (a).
