Four letter-clusters have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the letter-cluster that is different. Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter cluster.
MOP
To find the letter-cluster that is different, we need to analyze the pattern or rule that applies to each of the given options: TVX, HJL, MOP, and NPR.
-
Pattern Recognition: We will examine the difference between the positions of the letters in each cluster according to their respective positions in the English alphabet.
- The positions are: T (20), V (22), X (24); H (8), J (10), L (12); M (13), O (15), P (16); N (14), P (16), R (18).
-
Identify Logical Consistency: We will calculate the differences between consecutive letters in each cluster:
- TVX: Difference = 22 - 20 = 2 and 24 - 22 = 2.
- HJL: Difference = 10 - 8 = 2 and 12 - 10 = 2.
- MOP: Difference = 15 - 13 = 2 and 16 - 15 = 1.
- NPR: Difference = 16 - 14 = 2 and 18 - 16 = 2.
The letter-clusters TVX, HJL, and NPR all demonstrate consistent differences of 2 between each consecutive letter.
However, MOP shows differences of 2 and 1, which breaks the pattern of consistent differences of 2. Thus, it is different from the others.
- Conclusion: The cluster MOP is the odd one out due to the inconsistency in the differences between the letters compared to the other clusters.
