Question

Four of the following five are alike in a certain way and so form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group?
A, O, U, I, J

The correct answer is
J

The question asks us to identify the letter that does not belong with the others from the set {A, O, U, I, J}. We need to find a common characteristic shared by four of the letters but not the fifth.

Identifying the Pattern

Let's examine the given letters:

  • A
  • O
  • U
  • I
  • J

The letters A, E, I, O, U are known as vowels in the English alphabet. The remaining letters are consonants.

Grouping the Letters

By classifying the given letters:

  • A is a vowel.
  • O is a vowel.
  • U is a vowel.
  • I is a vowel.
  • J is a consonant.

Four of the letters (A, O, U, I) belong to the category of vowels.

Determining the Odd One Out

The letter J is the only consonant in the given set. Therefore, it does not fit the pattern established by the other four letters.

Conclusion

The letter that does not belong to the group is J, as it is a consonant, while A, O, U, and I are vowels.

Important Questions from Odd Man Out

  1. 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.

  2. 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.)

  3. 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.
