IBPS PO Prelims 23 Aug 2025 Shift 1 Solved Paper

Concept:Each group follows a pattern: second letter is 3 positions ahead of the first, and the third letter is the alphabetically opposite of the second letter.Explanation:Assign positions: $A=1, B=2, \ldots, Z=26$. Opposite letters have positions adding to 27.Check each option:$\mathrm{FIR}$: $\mathrm{F}(6)+3 = \mathrm{I}(9)$, and opposite of $\mathrm{I}$ is $\mathrm{R}(18)$. Pattern holds.$\mathrm{JMN}$: $\mathrm{J}(10)+3 = \mathrm{M}(13)$, and opposite of $\mathrm{M}$ is $\mathrm{N}(14)$. Pattern holds.$\mathrm{BEV}$: $\mathrm{B}(2)+3 = \mathrm{E}(5)$, and opposite of $\mathrm{E}$ is $\mathrm{V}(22)$. Pattern holds.$\mathrm{UXZ}$: $\mathrm{U}(21)+3 = \mathrm{X}(24)$, but opposite of $\mathrm{X}$ is $\mathrm{C}(3)$, not $\mathrm{Z}(26)$. Pattern fails.$\mathrm{QTG}$: $\mathrm{Q}(17)+3 = \mathrm{T}(20)$, and opposite of $\mathrm{T}$ is $\mathrm{G}(7)$. Pattern holds.Thus, only $\mathrm{UXZ}$ is the odd one out.Answer:D. UXZ
