Question 66
HardOriginal questionWhich letter group is the odd one out: KLNQ, BCEI, DEGK, HIKO?
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
In BCEI the gaps are +1, +2, +4 (B→C→E→I); DEGK and HIKO have the same +1, +2, +4 gaps.
In KLNQ the gaps are +1, +2, +3 (K→L→N→Q), so it is the odd one out.
Worth noting
The first two gaps agree in every group, so the break only shows in the last gap. Write the positions (K = 11, L = 12, N = 14, Q = 17) rather than guessing.
