Find the odd one out ........

Logical Reasoning (RBI) Puzzle Test

Direction: Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:

Nine boxes C, K, Y, I, F, S, V, L, G are arranged in such a way that it forms three by three matrix. Each row and each column consists of three boxes. Box S is placed just above box G and to the south – east of box K. Box C is placed in the same row in which box K is placed but not near to box S. Box Y is above box F. Box L is placed in the same column of box K but south – west of box S. Box C and Y are not in the same column. Box V is to the south – west of box Y and just below box I. Box G is to the south – east of box I.

Explanation:

Let's analyze step by step:

- There are 9 boxes, so let's visualize a 3x3 grid with positions (Row 1-3, Column 1-3).

- S is just above G and to the south-east of K. This means S and G are vertically aligned (S on top), and S is southeast of K (K must be north-west of S).

- C is in the same row as K, but not near to S. So C and K are in one row together; C can't be next to S.

- Y is above F. So Y and F are in the same column, with Y on top.

- L is in the same column as K and south-west of S. So L is below S and to the left of S in the same column as K.

- C and Y are not in the same column.

- V is south-west of Y and just below I. So I is above V, and V is southwest to Y.

- G is south-east of I.

Arrange as per constraints. After placing, the arrangement will be:

| K | Y | I |

| C | S | F |

| L | V | G |

Now, check which one of the given options doesn't fit:

- C, G, S, Y, V are the options.

- Except for V, all others are either in the top or middle row, or direct above/below relationships. V is unique because it's not directly aligned like the rest—it’s in a corner and does not have unique direct relationships (above, below, etc.) compared to others.

Correct Answer is Option:5, V

Key Points (in 100 words):

- S above G, to the southeast of K (S is at middle, G bottom right, K top left)

- C is in K’s row but not near S (so C is top left, S top centre, C top left possible)

- Y above F (so Y top, F middle/bottom in same column)

- L is in K's column, southwest of S (so L bottom left)

- G southeast of I (I top right, G bottom right), V is below I, to southwest of Y

- V is odd one out as it doesn't fit the direct positional relationships others do.
