Four letter clusters have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the letter cluster that is different.
Answer
Correct Answer : b ) LNQJ
Explanation :In the given options, let us find out the pattern that is being followed:
Let us assume the place value of A is 1, B is 2 and so on till Z is 26. Also, 27 is being considered as A, 28 as B and so on after every 26 numbers.
A. TVYB
T (20) + 2 = V (22)
V (22) + 3 = Y (25)
Y (25) + 3 = 28 (B)
B. LNQJ
L (12) + 2 = N (14)
N (14) + 3 = Q (17)
Q (17) - 7 = 10 (J)
C. HJMP
H (8) + 2 = J (10)
J (10) + 3 = M (13)
M (13) + 3 = 16 (P)
D. BDGT
B (2) + 2 = D (4)
D (4) + 3 = G (7)
G (7) + 3 = 10 (T)
Looking at the above patterns, option B follows a different pattern than that followed by the other three options.
Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
