Question

Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which letter-cluster DOES NOT belong to that group? (Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2024 Undergraduate CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

RUNP

The pattern followed by the letter clusters BEWZ, NQIL, and WZRU is that the letters are arranged in reverse alphabetical order within each cluster, with a gap between consecutive letters. Let's break down each cluster:

  • BEWZ: Z, W, E, B. The letters are in reverse alphabetical order, with a gap of two letters between each.
  • NQIL: L, I, Q, N. The letters are in reverse alphabetical order, with a gap of two letters between each.
  • WZRU: U, R, Z, W. The letters are in reverse alphabetical order, with a gap of two letters between each.
  • RUNP: This cluster does not follow the pattern. The letters are not arranged in reverse alphabetical order with a consistent gap.

Therefore, RUNP is the letter-cluster that does not belong to the group.
