ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್ ವರ್ಣಮಾಲೆಯ ಕ್ರಮದ ಆಧಾರದ ಮೇಲೆ, ಈ ಕೆಳಗಿನ ನಾಲ್ಕು ಅಕ್ಷರ-ಗುಂಪಿನ ಜೋಡಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮೂರು ಒಂದು ನಿರ್ದಿಷ್ಟ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದೇ ರೀತಿಯಾಗಿವೆ ಮತ್ತು ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ಒಂದು ಗುಂಪನ್ನು ರೂಪಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ಯಾವ ಅಕ್ಷರ-ಗುಂಪಿನ ಜೋಡಿಯು ಆ ಗುಂಪಿಗೆ ಸೇರಿಲ್ಲ?
(ಸೂಚನೆ: ಬೆಸ ಒಂದನ್ನು ವ್ಯಂಜನಗಳು/ಸ್ವರಗಳ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ ಅಥವಾ ಅಕ್ಷರ-ಗುಂಪಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಅವುಗಳ ಸ್ಥಾನದ ಆಧಾರದ ಮೇಲೆ ಗುರುತಿಸಲಾಗಿಲ್ಲ.)

Calculate the difference between the alphabetical positions of the two letters in each pair. If the difference is a constant, identify the pair where it varies.
Calculate the difference between the alphabetical positions of the two letters in each pair. If the difference is a constant, identify the pair where it varies.
Mapping Alphabetical Positions
Convert letters to positions (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26): VS (22, 19), WT (23, 20); MJ (13, 10), NK (14, 11); TQ (20, 17), JI (10, 9); OL (15, 12), PM (16, 13).
Calculate Differences within Clusters
Calculate absolute difference |L2 - L1| for each letter: VS (22-19=3), WT (23-20=3); MJ (13-10=3), NK (14-11=3); TQ (20-17=3), JI (10-9=1); OL (15-12=3), PM (16-13=3).
Verify Uniformity
In A, B, and D, both clusters in the pair have a difference of 3. In C, the first cluster has a difference of 3, but the second cluster (JI) has a difference of 1.
A: Both clusters follow the difference of 3 (22-19=3, 23-20=3). B: Both clusters follow the difference of 3 (13-10=3, 14-11=3). D: Both clusters follow the difference of 3 (15-12=3, 16-13=3).
C is correct because in all other options (A, B, and D), both letter clusters exhibit a consistent difference of 3, whereas in C, the cluster 'JI' exhibits a difference of 1.
When faced with letter-cluster odd-one-out questions, always check the positional difference first before checking for vowels, consonants, or cyclic patterns.
