Check the alphabetical position differences between consecutive letters in each cluster. Look for a consistent pattern like +2, +4 or +3, +4.
Check the alphabetical position differences between consecutive letters in each cluster. Look for a consistent pattern like +2, +4 or +3, +4.
Analyze Option A (GJO)
G is 7, J is 10, O is 15. The differences are +3 and +5.
Analyze Option B (CGK)
C is 3, G is 7, K is 11. The differences are +4 and +4.
Analyze Option C (LOT) and Option D (SVA)
LOT follows +3 and +5 (L=12, O=15, T=20). SVA follows +3 and +5 (S=19, V=22, A=1 after wrapping around Z).
A: GJO has differences of +3 and +5. C: LOT has differences of +3 and +5. D: SVA has differences of +3 and +5.
B is correct because CGK follows a uniform +4, +4 gap pattern whereas the other three options follow a +3, +5 gap pattern.
Always check letter positional differences first before looking at vowels or consonants when the note explicitly rules out vowel/consonant-based grouping.
