Direction: Study the following arrangement carefully and answer the following questions given below: X Z 9 / E 4 + 5 D A % O P 3 I G @ L 1 W × 7 F S U 8 $ C 2 ? Four of the following five are alike in a certain way and hence form a group. Which of the following is the one that does not belong to the group?

Step-by-step solution

The given sequence: X Z 9 / E 4 + 5 D A % O P 3 I G @ L 1 W × 7 F S U 8 $ C 2 ? After analyzing the given options with their respective positions in the given sequence. We can say that the pattern is that second element is second to the right of first element and third element is second to right of second element. Here, the only option which does not follow the pattern is option (B) 1×7. Hence, the correct answer is option B.
