Four of the following five are alike in a certain way and so form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group? PT, NR, JN, LO, UY
Letter Pairs Analysis
The question asks to identify the letter pair that is different from the others based on a specific pattern. We need to examine the given pairs: PT, NR, JN, LO, UY.
- PT
- NR
- JN
- LO
- UY
Alphabetical Position Differences
To find the pattern, we assign numerical values to each letter based on its position in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) and calculate the difference between the positions of the letters in each pair.
| Pair | Letters | Positions | Difference |
| PT | P, T | $16, 20$ | $20 - 16 = 4$ |
| NR | N, R | $14, 18$ | $18 - 14 = 4$ |
| JN | J, N | $10, 14$ | $14 - 10 = 4$ |
| LO | L, O | $12, 15$ | $15 - 12 = 3$ |
| UY | U, Y | $21, 25$ | $25 - 21 = 4$ |
Pattern Discovery
By analyzing the differences calculated above, we observe that four of the pairs (PT, NR, JN, UY) have a difference of 4 between the alphabetical positions of their constituent letters.
Odd Pair Identification
The pair 'LO' has a difference of 3 ($15 - 12 = 3$), which deviates from the common pattern of a difference of 4 observed in the other pairs. Therefore, 'LO' is the pair that does not belong to the group.
