Alphabetical Order Analysis of Letter Clusters
This question asks us to identify a pair of letter clusters that is different from the others, based on a specific relationship derived from the English alphabetical order. We need to examine the relationship between the letters within each pair and between the two clusters in each option.
First, let's assign numerical positions to each letter based on its place in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).
Letter Cluster Comparison
Let's analyze each option:
Option 1: SK - PH
- S is the 19th letter. K is the 11th letter.
- P is the 16th letter. H is the 8th letter.
- Relationship between S and P: Position of P = Position of S + (\(16 - 19\)) = Position of S + (\(-3\)).
- Relationship between K and H: Position of H = Position of K + (\(8 - 11\)) = Position of K + (\(-3\)).
- In this pair, both letters in the first cluster (SK) are shifted back by 3 positions to get the letters in the second cluster (PH).
Option 2: FX - CU
- F is the 6th letter. X is the 24th letter.
- C is the 3rd letter. U is the 21st letter.
- Relationship between F and C: Position of C = Position of F + (\(3 - 6\)) = Position of F + (\(-3\)).
- Relationship between X and U: Position of U = Position of X + (\(21 - 24\)) = Position of X + (\(-3\)).
- This pair also follows the pattern of shifting back by 3 positions.
Option 3: ME - JB
- M is the 13th letter. E is the 5th letter.
- J is the 10th letter. B is the 2nd letter.
- Relationship between M and J: Position of J = Position of M + (\(10 - 13\)) = Position of M + (\(-3\)).
- Relationship between E and B: Position of B = Position of E + (\(2 - 5\)) = Position of E + (\(-3\)).
- This pair also follows the pattern of shifting back by 3 positions.
Option 4: UM - GZ
- U is the 21st letter. M is the 13th letter.
- G is the 7th letter. Z is the 26th letter.
- Relationship between U and G: Position of G = Position of U + (\(7 - 21\)) = Position of U + (\(-14\)).
- Relationship between M and Z: Position of Z = Position of M + (\(26 - 13\)) = Position of M + (\(+13\)).
- In this pair, the letters do not shift back by 3 positions. The first letter shifts back by 14, and the second letter shifts forward by 13.
Identifying the Odd Pair
Three pairs (SK-PH, FX-CU, ME-JB) share a common pattern where each letter in the first cluster is shifted back by 3 positions in the alphabet to obtain the corresponding letter in the second cluster. The pair UM - GZ does not follow this specific pattern.
Therefore, the pair that does not belong to the group is UM - GZ.
