VQ – PK, QL – KF, TO – NI, UP – OI – Which is the letter-cluster pair that DOES NOT belong to that group?
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 is the letter-cluster pair that 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.)
अंग्रेजी वर्णमाला क्रम के आधार पर, निम्नलिखित चार अक्षर-समूह युग्मों में से तीन एक निश्चित तरीके से एकसमान हैं और इस प्रकार एक ग्रुप बनाते हैं। कौन-सा अक्षर-समूह युग्म उस ग्रुप से संबंधित नहीं है?
(नोट: असंगत अक्षर – समूह युग्म, उसमें व्यंजनों/स्वरों की संख्या या उनकी स्थिति पर आधारित नहीं है।)
Detailed Solution & Logic
UP - OI
Step 1: Convert letters to alphabetical positions
VQ → PK
-
V → 22, Q → 17
-
P → 16, K → 11
QL → KF
-
Q → 17, L → 12
-
K → 11, F → 6
TO → NI
-
T → 20, O → 15
-
N → 14, I → 9
UP → OI
-
U → 21, P → 16
-
O → 15, I → 9
Step 2: Find the pattern (letter difference)
For each pair, check the difference between first letters of first and second cluster, and second letters of first and second cluster:
VQ → PK
-
22 − 16 = 6
-
17 − 11 = 6
QL → KF
-
17 − 11 = 6
-
12 − 6 = 6
TO → NI
-
20 − 14 = 6
-
15 − 9 = 6
UP → OI
-
21 − 15 = 6
-
16 − 9 = 7 ✅
Step 3: Identify the odd one out
All pairs except UP → OI have a difference of 6 for both letters.
Odd one out = UP → OI
