OL-QN-SU
LI-NK-PR
This question tests your ability to identify and apply a specific letter pattern across different triads. We need to find the triad that follows the same logical sequence as the examples provided.
Understanding the Given Triads
We are given two sample triads:
- Triad 1: OL - QN - SU
- Triad 2: LI - NK - PR
The goal is to find which of the given options follows the same pattern.
Analyzing the Pattern: First Letters
Let's examine the sequence of the first letters in each pair within the triads:
- Triad 1: O, Q, S
- Triad 2: L, N, P
We convert these letters to their corresponding positions in the alphabet:
- Triad 1 First Letters: O (15), Q (17), S (19)
- Triad 2 First Letters: L (12), N (14), P (16)
Observing the numerical sequence:
- For Triad 1: $15 \rightarrow 17$ (Difference is $+2$), $17 \rightarrow 19$ (Difference is $+2$).
- For Triad 2: $12 \rightarrow 14$ (Difference is $+2$), $14 \rightarrow 16$ (Difference is $+2$).
The pattern for the first letters is consistent: add 2 to the alphabetical position to get the next first letter.
Analyzing the Pattern: Second Letters
Now, let's examine the sequence of the second letters in each pair within the triads:
- Triad 1: L, N, U
- Triad 2: I, K, R
Converting these letters to their alphabetical positions:
- Triad 1 Second Letters: L (12), N (14), U (21)
- Triad 2 Second Letters: I (9), K (11), R (18)
Observing the numerical sequence:
- For Triad 1: $12 \rightarrow 14$ (Difference is $+2$), $14 \rightarrow 21$ (Difference is $+7$).
- For Triad 2: $9 \rightarrow 11$ (Difference is $+2$), $11 \rightarrow 18$ (Difference is $+7$).
The pattern for the second letters is also consistent: add 2 to the alphabetical position for the second pair, and then add 7 for the third pair.
Applying the Pattern to the Options
Let's test the options against the identified pattern (First letters: +2, +2; Second letters: +2, +7):
| Option | First Letters (Pos) | Pattern Check (First) | Second Letters (Pos) | Pattern Check (Second) | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. SO-TR-VY | S(19), T(20), V(22) | $19 \rightarrow 20 (+1)$, $20 \rightarrow 22 (+2)$ | O(15), R(18), Y(25) | $15 \rightarrow 18 (+3)$, $18 \rightarrow 25 (+7)$ | Fails |
| 2. RO-TQ-VX | R(18), T(20), V(22) | $18 \rightarrow 20 (+2)$, $20 \rightarrow 22 (+2)$ | O(15), Q(17), X(24) | $15 \rightarrow 17 (+2)$, $17 \rightarrow 24 (+7)$ | Matches |
| 3. RO-TQ-VY | R(18), T(20), V(22) | $18 \rightarrow 20 (+2)$, $20 \rightarrow 22 (+2)$ | O(15), Q(17), Y(25) | $15 \rightarrow 17 (+2)$, $17 \rightarrow 25 (+8)$ | Fails |
| 4. SO-TQ-VY | S(19), T(20), V(22) | $19 \rightarrow 20 (+1)$, $20 \rightarrow 22 (+2)$ | O(15), Q(17), Y(25) | $15 \rightarrow 17 (+2)$, $17 \rightarrow 25 (+8)$ | Fails |
Conclusion
Option 2, RO-TQ-VX, perfectly follows the established pattern:
- First letters R, T, V correspond to positions 18, 20, 22 ($18+2=20$, $20+2=22$).
- Second letters O, Q, X correspond to positions 15, 17, 24 ($15+2=17$, $17+7=24$).
Therefore, RO-TQ-VX is the triad that follows the same pattern.
