Based 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 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.)
CH – EK
To find the letter-cluster pair that does not belong to the group, we need to analyze each pair and determine the pattern that three pairs have in common.
- First, we write down the positions of the letters in the alphabet for each letter-cluster:
- CH – EK: C(3), H(8); E(5), K(11)
- DJ – GM: D(4), J(10); G(7), M(13)
- AF – DI: A(1), F(6); D(4), I(9)
- BG – EJ: B(2), G(7); E(5), J(10)
- Next, we calculate the position difference within each pair:
- CH – EK:
- Difference between C and E: 5 - 3 = 2
- Difference between H and K: 11 - 8 = 3
- DJ – GM:
- Difference between D and G: 7 - 4 = 3
- Difference between J and M: 13 - 10 = 3
- AF – DI:
- Difference between A and D: 4 - 1 = 3
- Difference between F and I: 9 - 6 = 3
- BG – EJ:
- Difference between B and E: 5 - 2 = 3
- Difference between G and J: 10 - 7 = 3
- CH – EK:
- Observation:
- The pairs DJ – GM, AF – DI, and BG – EJ have consistent differences of +3 in both positions, forming a pattern.
- The pair CH – EK has differences of +2 and +3, not following this consistent pattern of +3.
Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that does not belong to the group is CH – EK.
