Question

Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which letter-cluster does not belong to that group?

(Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)

The correct answer is

FUT

To solve this problem, let's first determine the pattern or rule that the letter-clusters are following. We'll check each group of letters to see if they share a common characteristic based on their positions in the English alphabet.

  • CEG: The position of the letters C, E, and G in the alphabet are 3, 5, and 7 respectively. Notice that they are separated by a gap of 2 between each successive letter: C (3) + 2 = E (5) + 2 = G (7).
  • JLN: The positions are 10, 12, and 14. Similar to CEG, the letters have a gap of 2 between each successive letter: J (10) + 2 = L (12) + 2 = N (14).
  • FUT: The positions are 6, 21, and 20. Here, the gap is not consistent. From F to U, the difference is 15, and from U to T, the difference is -1. This breaks the pattern seen in the other groups.
  • TVX: The positions are 20, 22, and 24. There is a consistent gap of 2: T (20) + 2 = V (22) + 2 = X (24).

Based on this pattern analysis, the letter-cluster FUT does not belong to the group as it doesn't follow the consistent gap rule of 2 between the letter positions.
