Letter Pair Analogy Reasoning
The question asks to identify the letter-cluster pair that does not follow the pattern established by the others. The pattern involves the relationship between letters based on their position in the English alphabet.
Analyzing Alphabetical Positions
First, let's determine the numerical position of each letter in the alphabet:
- A=1, B=2, ..., H=8, J=10, L=12, M=13, N=14, O=15, Q=17, R=18, S=19, T=20, V=22, X=24, Z=26
Pattern Identification
We examine the relationship within each pair and between the pairs for the options that seem similar:
- Option 1: HL−JN
- H (8) and L (12): The difference is \(12 - 8 = 4\).
- J (10) and N (14): The difference is \(14 - 10 = 4\).
- Relationship between pairs: H to J is \(10 - 8 = +2\). L to N is \(14 - 12 = +2\).
- Pattern: (X, X+4) followed by (X+2, X+4+2).
- Option 3: MQ−OS
- M (13) and Q (17): The difference is \(17 - 13 = 4\).
- O (15) and S (19): The difference is \(19 - 15 = 4\).
- Relationship between pairs: M to O is \(15 - 13 = +2\). Q to S is \(19 - 17 = +2\).
- Pattern: (X, X+4) followed by (X+2, X+4+2).
- Option 4: TX−VZ
- T (20) and X (24): The difference is \(24 - 20 = 4\).
- V (22) and Z (26): The difference is \(26 - 22 = 4\).
- Relationship between pairs: T to V is \(22 - 20 = +2\). X to Z is \(26 - 24 = +2\).
- Pattern: (X, X+4) followed by (X+2, X+4+2).
Analyzing the Odd Pair Out
Now, let's analyze Option 2 (NR−OV) using the same criteria:
- Option 2: NR−OV
- N (14) and R (18): The difference is \(18 - 14 = 4\). (This part matches the pattern).
- O (15) and V (22): The difference is \(22 - 15 = 7\). (This part deviates; the difference is not 4).
- Relationship between pairs: N to O is \(15 - 14 = +1\). R to V is \(22 - 18 = +4\). (These deviations also do not match the +2 pattern).
Conclusion
Options 1, 3, and 4 share a consistent pattern: each pair has letters separated by 4 positions, and the second pair's letters are 2 positions after the first pair's corresponding letters. Option 2 (NR−OV) breaks this pattern because the second pair (OV) has letters separated by 7 positions, not 4, and the progression between pairs is not +2.
Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that does not belong to the group is NR−OV.
