Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which letter-cluster 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.)
-
A.
CJSX
-
B.
JQZF
-
C.
BIRW
-
D.
UBKP
Correct Answer:
B. JQZF
Explanation:
The pattern for the letter-clusters involves adding 7, 9, and 5 to the positional values of the characters. Applying this to the options: - CJSX: C(3)+7=J(10), J(10)+9=S(19), S(19)+5=X(24).
- JQZF: J(10)+7=Q(17), Q(17)+9=Z(26), Z(26)+6=F(6).
- BIRW: B(2)+7=I(9), I(9)+9=R(18), R(18)+5=W(23).
- UBKP: U(21)+7=B(2), B(2)+9=K(11), K(11)+5=P(16).The cluster JQZF is the odd one out because the final increment is 6 instead of 5.
