(A) DEHG
(B) RSVU
(C) JKNM
(D) LMQP

Correct Solution: Option D

Step-by-step Solution:

Identifying the Pattern

To find the odd one out, we need to analyze the pattern of intervals between the letters in each group. The pattern is based on the position of the letters in the alphabet.

Analysis of Each Group:

  • A. DEHG D → E (+1)
    E → H (+3)
    H → G (-1)
    Pattern: +1, +3, -1
  • B. RSVU R → S (+1)
    S → V (+3)
    V → U (-1)
    Pattern: +1, +3, -1
  • C. JKNM J → K (+1)
    K → N (+3)
    N → M (-1)
    Pattern: +1, +3, -1
  • D. LMQP L → M (+1)
    M → Q (+4)
    Q → P (-1)
    Pattern: +1, +4, -1

Conclusion

The first three groups (DEHG, RSVU, JKNM) all follow the same pattern of intervals: +1, +3, -1. The group LMQP follows a different pattern (+1, +4, -1), which makes it the odd one out.
