This question was previously asked in
PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
IJOT

The correct answer is IJOT.

This question tests your ability to identify patterns in letter clusters. Let's analyze the given options:

  • HGMQ: The difference between consecutive letters is +2, -3, +2.
  • FEKS: The difference between consecutive letters is +2, +2, +2.
  • POUI: The difference between consecutive letters is -3, -3, +3.
  • IJOT: The difference between consecutive letters is +2, +2, +2, +2.

Observe that HGMQ, FEKS, and POUI all show a varying pattern in the difference between consecutive letters. In contrast, IJOT shows a consistent difference of +2 between each consecutive letter.

Therefore, IJOT stands out as the odd one out because it follows a different pattern compared to the others. The consistent pattern in IJOT makes it unique among the given options. The others all have at least one difference in the pattern unlike this one.
