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.)
RL-SN
To determine which letter-cluster pair does not belong in the group, we compare each option based on their positions in the English alphabet. The pairs need to display a consistent pattern, except for one, which will be the odd one out.
- Option 1: RL-SN
- Position of 'R' in the alphabet: 18
- Position of 'L' in the alphabet: 12
- Position of 'S' in the alphabet: 19
- Position of 'N' in the alphabet: 14
- Difference: RL (18-12 = 6), SN (19-14 = 5)
- Option 2: PJ-QK
- Position of 'P' in the alphabet: 16
- Position of 'J' in the alphabet: 10
- Position of 'Q' in the alphabet: 17
- Position of 'K' in the alphabet: 11
- Difference: PJ (16-10 = 6), QK (17-11 = 6)
- Option 3: HB-IC
- Position of 'H' in the alphabet: 8
- Position of 'B' in the alphabet: 2
- Position of 'I' in the alphabet: 9
- Position of 'C' in the alphabet: 3
- Difference: HB (8-2 = 6), IC (9-3 = 6)
- Option 4: FZ-GA
- Position of 'F' in the alphabet: 6
- Position of 'Z' in the alphabet: 26
- Position of 'G' in the alphabet: 7
- Position of 'A' in the alphabet: 1
- Difference: FZ (6-26 = -20 or equivalently, 26-6 = 20, considering circular approach), GA (7-1 = 6)
The pairs PJ-QK and HB-IC maintain a consistent difference of 6 between the first and second letters. However, RL-SN, the first pair, does not maintain this pattern as the differences are not equal (6 and 5). Thus, RL-SN is the odd one out.
