Question

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.)

The correct answer is

IT – KV

To solve this question, we need to identify the unique letter-cluster pair among the options provided, based on a certain pattern using the English alphabetical order.

First, let's evaluate the letter pairs given:

  1. DG – EH
  2. SJ – TK
  3. KE – LF
  4. IT – KV

Our goal is to determine the pattern or rule that applies to three of these pairs and identify the one that does not fit.

Step-by-Step Analysis:

  • Pair DG – EH:
    • D is the 4th letter of the alphabet.
    • G is the 7th letter of the alphabet.
    • E is the 5th letter of the alphabet.
    • H is the 8th letter of the alphabet.
    • The pattern: D + 1 = E and G + 1 = H.
  • Pair SJ – TK:
    • S is the 19th letter of the alphabet.
    • J is the 10th letter of the alphabet.
    • T is the 20th letter of the alphabet.
    • K is the 11th letter of the alphabet.
    • The pattern: S + 1 = T and J + 1 = K.
  • Pair KE – LF:
    • K is the 11th letter of the alphabet.
    • E is the 5th letter of the alphabet.
    • L is the 12th letter of the alphabet.
    • F is the 6th letter of the alphabet.
    • The pattern: K + 1 = L and E + 1 = F.
  • Pair IT – KV:
    • I is the 9th letter of the alphabet.
    • T is the 20th letter of the alphabet.
    • K is the 11th letter of the alphabet.
    • V is the 22nd letter of the alphabet.
    • Notice here, I + 2 ≠ K and T + 2 ≠ V (No uniform increment pattern).

Conclusion: The rule for the first three pairs is consistent. Each letter in the first pair is increased by 1 to form the second letter. However, the pair IT – KV deviates from this rule, as the letters don't follow a consistent increment.

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair IT – KV is the odd one out, as it does not follow the same pattern as the other three pairs.
