Letter Cluster Identification
The task is to identify the letter cluster that does not follow the same logical pattern as the other three. We need to find the 'odd one out' among the given options: DLH, JHF, FPB, and BRJ.
Alphabetical Position Mapping
To solve this, we first assign numerical positions to each letter based on its place in the English alphabet (A=1, B=2, C=3, ..., Z=26).
- For DLH: D is the 4th letter, L is the 12th, and H is the 8th. Positions: ($4, 12, 8$).
- For JHF: J is the 10th letter, H is the 8th, and F is the 6th. Positions: ($10, 8, 6$).
- For FPB: F is the 6th letter, P is the 16th, and B is the 2nd. Positions: ($6, 16, 2$).
- For BRJ: B is the 2nd letter, R is the 18th, and J is the 10th. Positions: ($2, 18, 10$).
Identifying the Different Cluster Pattern
Now, we look for a consistent pattern among these letter positions. A common approach is to examine the relationship between the first and third letters relative to their positions.
Let's calculate the absolute difference between the numerical position of the first letter and the third letter in each cluster:
Cluster DLH Pattern
The positions are D ($4$) and H ($8$). The absolute difference is calculated as: $|Pos(D) - Pos(H)| = |4 - 8| = |-4| = 4$.
Cluster JHF Pattern
The positions are J ($10$) and F ($6$). The absolute difference is calculated as: $|Pos(J) - Pos(F)| = |10 - 6| = |4| = 4$.
Cluster FPB Pattern
The positions are F ($6$) and B ($2$). The absolute difference is calculated as: $|Pos(F) - Pos(B)| = |6 - 2| = |4| = 4$.
Cluster BRJ Pattern
The positions are B ($2$) and J ($10$). The absolute difference is calculated as: $|Pos(B) - Pos(J)| = |2 - 10| = |-8| = 8$.
Pattern Summary and Conclusion
Let's summarize the findings in a table:
| Cluster | Letter Positions (1st, 3rd) | Absolute Difference $|Pos(1st) - Pos(3rd)|$ |
|---|---|---|
| DLH | ($4$, $8$) | $4$ |
| JHF | ($10$, $6$) | $4$ |
| FPB | ($6$, $2$) | $4$ |
| BRJ | ($2$, $10$) | $8$ |
Three clusters (DLH, JHF, FPB) exhibit a consistent pattern where the absolute difference between the position of the first and third letters is $4$. The cluster BRJ shows an absolute difference of $8$, which deviates from this pattern.
Therefore, the letter cluster BRJ is the different one.
