Alphabetical Grouping Analysis
The question asks us to identify the letter cluster that does not follow the same alphabetical pattern as the others. We need to analyze the positional differences between consecutive letters in each cluster based on the English alphabet.
Letter Cluster Pattern Breakdown
We will examine each option by finding the position of each letter in the alphabet and calculating the difference between consecutive letters.
| Cluster | Letters & Positions | Difference 1 (Letter 2 - Letter 1) | Difference 2 (Letter 3 - Letter 2) | Pattern |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CFK | C(3), F(6), K(11) | \(6 - 3 = 3\) | \(11 - 6 = 5\) | +3, +5 |
| MOU | M(13), O(15), U(21) | \(15 - 13 = 2\) | \(21 - 15 = 6\) | +2, +6 |
| KNS | K(11), N(14), S(19) | \(14 - 11 = 3\) | \(19 - 14 = 5\) | +3, +5 |
| RUZ | R(18), U(21), Z(26) | \(21 - 18 = 3\) | \(26 - 21 = 5\) | +3, +5 |
Identifying the Odd Cluster
Three clusters (CFK, KNS, RUZ) follow the pattern of differences +3 and +5 between consecutive letters.
The cluster MOU follows a different pattern of differences: +2 and +6.
Therefore, the letter cluster that DOES NOT belong to the group is MOU.
