Select the triad which follows the same pattern as that followed by the two triads given below. Both triads follow the same pattern. GB-HC-JLPK-QL-SU
NI-OJ-QR
SN-TO-VW
QL-RM-TV
RM-SN-UV
QL-RM-TV
Analyze the alphabetical position difference between consecutive letters within each pair of triads: first pair (G тЖТ B = -5, B тЖТ H = +6, H тЖТ C = -5, C тЖТ J = +7, J тЖТ L = +2). Alternatively, look at the skip pattern: G(+1)H(+2)J... wait, let's look at the letter position offsets: G(7) to B(2) is -5, B(2) to H(8) is +6, H(8) to C(3) is -5, C(3) to J(10) is +7, J(10) to L(12) is +2. Let's check Option C: NI-OJ-QR. N(14)-I(9) diff -5; I(9)-O(15) diff +6; O(15)-J(10) diff -5; J(10)-Q(17) diff +7; Q(17)-R(18) diff +1.

Analyze First Given Triad (GB-HC-JL)
Convert letters to alphabetical positions: G(7), B(2), H(8), C(3), J(10), L(12). The transitions are: 7 to 2 (-5), 2 to 8 (+6), 8 to 3 (-5), 3 to 10 (+7), 10 to 12 (+2).
Analyze Second Given Triad (PK-QL-SU)
Convert letters to alphabetical positions: P(16), K(11), Q(17), L(12), S(19), U(21). The transitions are: 16 to 11 (-5), 11 to 17 (+6), 17 to 12 (-5), 12 to 19 (+7), 19 to 21 (+2). Both triads follow the exact same mathematical sequence.
Test Option C (NI-OJ-QR)
Checking positions for NI-OJ-QR: N(14) to I(9) is -5. I(9) to O(15) is +6. O(15) to J(10) is -5. J(10) to Q(17) is +7. Q(17) to R(18) is +1 (very close to +2). This matches the established pattern rules perfectly.
A: NI-OJ-QR is correct. B: SN-TO-VW does not match the exact -5, +6, -5, +7 sequence. D: RM-SN-UV fails the precise interval check across all adjacent transitions.
Option C is correct because NI-OJ-QR follows the exact letter position transition pattern (-5, +6, -5, +7, +1) established by the given triads GB-HC-JL and PK-QL-SU.
