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 pair 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.)
VZ-TX
GK-ZD
CG-VZ
WA-PT
VZ-TX
Calculate the difference between the letters in each pair; three options will have a specific difference while the odd one out will follow a different arithmetic rule.
Calculate the difference between the letters in each pair; three options will have a specific difference while the odd one out will follow a different arithmetic rule.
Analyze the position gaps of the pairs
Convert letters to positions (A=1, B=2... Z=26). A: V(22), Z(26) gap +4; T(20), X(24) gap +4. B: G(7), K(11) gap +4; Z(26), D(4) gap +4 (26+4=30, 30-26=4). C: C(3), G(7) gap +4; V(22), Z(26) gap +4. D: W(23), A(1) gap +4 (23+4=27, 27-26=1); P(16), T(20) gap +4.
Identify the differentiating logic
Examine the gap between the end letter of the first pair and the start letter of the second pair. A: Z(26) to T(20) is -6. B: K(11) to Z(26) is +15. C: G(7) to V(22) is +15. D: A(1) to P(16) is +15. All options B, C, and D follow the rule of +15, while A does not.
B: Follows the +15 gap rule between clusters (K to Z). C: Follows the +15 gap rule between clusters (G to V). D: Follows the +15 gap rule between clusters (A to P).
A is correct because options B, C, and D follow a constant gap of +15 between the second letter of the first pair and the first letter of the second pair, whereas option A does not follow this pattern.
When faced with letter-cluster analogies, always check both the internal gap within the pairs and the external gap connecting the pairs; usually, one of these will reveal the hidden constant.
