Three of the following letter-number trios are built on the same rule. Pick the one that breaks the rule.
- B2 : E5 : H8
- C3 : F6 : I9
- D4 : G7 : J10
- E5 : H9 : K13
Correct answer: E5 : H9 : K13
Solution
In B2, E5, H8 the digit matches the letter's alphabetical position (B=2, E=5, H=8) and every term jumps by +3. The same holds for the C and D groups. E5:H9:K13 does not keep number = letter-position (H is 8, not 9), so it is the odd one out.
