The logic followed here is :- 

  • First and second letter - Difference between the position value according to English alphabetic series is (1).
  • Second and third letter - Difference between the position value according to English alphabetic series is (3).

So,

  • Option - (1) : IJM

F1 SSC Amit A 06-03-2023 D48

  • Option - (2) : ABE

F1 SSC Amit A 06-03-2023 D49

  • Option - (3) : XYA

  • Option - (4) : EFI

F1 SSC Amit A 06-03-2023 D51

Thus, out of all the options 'XYA' is the odd one out as the difference between first and the second letter and difference between second and third letter is (1) and (2) respectively.

​Hence, "XYA" is the correct answer.
