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

The correct answer is

NOPPSS

Step 1: Identifying the pattern

Observing the letter clusters, we see that:

RTTUWW → Contains repeated pairs: TT, UU, WW

ACCDFF → Contains repeated pairs: CC, DD, FF

IKKLNN → Contains repeated pairs: KK, LL, NN

NOPPSS → Contains repeated pairs: PP, SS

All clusters contain three pairs of repeated letters.

Step 2: Finding the odd one

If we check the sequence in the alphabetical order:

RTTUWW → (R, T, T, U, W, W)

ACCDFF → (A, C, C, D, F, F)

IKKLNN → (I, K, K, L, N, N)

NOPPSS → (N, O, P, P, S, S)

The first three clusters follow a pattern where the repeated letters are in a structured, non-consecutive pattern, while NOPPSS does not follow the same pattern strictly.

Conclusion:

NOPPSS (Option 2) is the odd one out ✅ because its letter arrangement does not follow the same increasing structured pattern as the others.

The correct answer is Option 2: NOPPSS.

Important Questions from Odd Man Out

  1. The same operation(s) are followed in all the given number pairs except one. Find that odd number pair. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/deleting/multiplying etc., to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

  2. Three of the following numbers are alike in a certain way and one is different. Pick the odd one out. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/deleting/multiplying etc., to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
