  1. Clearly, two words BOU and UAK have two vowels.

Note: In English alphabetical series there are 5 vowels i.e. A, E, I, O, U else all are consonants.

Hence, two words have two vowels after rearrangement.

Question 286

RBI Assistant 2022• Reasoning Ability

Find the odd one out from the given options:

  1. AOption (a)

    BEIN

  2. BOption (b)

    LOSX

  3. COption (c)

    DGJN

  4. DOption (d)

    HKOT

  5. EOption (e)

    FIMR

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

DGJN

Why this answer is correct

The pattern followed here is:

  1. BEIN → B + 3 = E; E + 4 = I; I + 5 = N

  2. LOSX → L + 3 = O; O + 4 = S; S + 5 = X

  3. DGJN → D + 3 = G; G + 3 = J; J + 4 = N

  4. HKOT → H + 3 = K; K + 4 = O; O + 5 = T

  5. FIMR → F + 3 = I; I + 4 = M; M + 5 = R

Thus, DGJN does not fulfil the above condition. So, it is the odd one out from the given options.
