Question
Download Solution PDFBased on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-cluster pairs
are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which letter-cluster pair DOES NOT

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLet's analyze the pattern for each letter-cluster pair by looking at the positional value of the letters in the English alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).
1) FG - AB
Here, the pattern is -5 for both letters.
2) PK - MJ
Here, the pattern is -3 for the first letter and -1 for the second letter.
3) NO - IJ
Here, the pattern is -5 for both letters.
4) JK - EF
Here, the pattern is -5 for both letters.
From the analysis, the pairs FG - AB, NO - IJ, and JK - EF all follow a pattern of subtracting 5 from the positional value of each letter.
However, the pair PK - MJ does not follow this pattern.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
