In the given question, choose the term that is odd one

Solution

Analyze the pattern of letters and numbers separately. Letters: F(6), H(8), J(10), L(12), N(14), Q(17), R(18). They mostly increase by 2: 6,8,10,12,14... then 17 (should be 16/P), then 18. So Q is the odd one out as it breaks the +2 pattern. Numbers: 1, 5, 10, 16, 23, 30, 40. Differences: +4, +5, +6, +7, +8, +10. The difference between 30 and 40 is +10, but it should be +9 (after +8). This also points to the last term, but the question asks for the odd term, which is Q30 based on the letter sequence.
