Select the triad which follows the same pattern as that followed by the two triads given below. Both triads follow the same pattern. QL-GK-ONMH-CG-KJ
PJ-EI-ML
OJ-EH-MK
OJ-EI-ML
PJ-EI-MK
OJ-EI-ML
Analyze the pattern as: [1st letter: -2, +2, -2...], [2nd letter: -3, +3, -3...]. Or, look for alphabetic gap shifts between the three letters in the triad.
Analyze the pattern as: [1st letter: -2, +2, -2...], [2nd letter: -3, +3, -3...]. Or, look for alphabetic gap shifts between the three letters in the triad.
Analyze the given triads
The triads given are (QL, GK, ON) and (MH, CG, KJ). By examining the positional values of the letters, we identify that the transformation between consecutive pairs follows a specific cyclic alphabetic shift.
Validate Option C
Comparing the triad 'OJ-EI-ML' with the original set logic: The sequence OJ, EI, ML exhibits consistent structural alignment with the pattern derived from the shifts in the given sample pairs.
A: Does not follow the established positional shift sequence of the given examples. B: The second and third pairs do not maintain the internal logic of the series. D: The shift values in this triad deviate from the primary pattern observed in the reference triads.
C is correct because the triad OJ-EI-ML maintains the consistent alphabetic transformation pattern observed in the provided sample triads QL-GK-ON and MH-CG-KJ.
In coding-decoding triad questions, always convert letters to their numerical positions (A=1, Z=26) first; this reveals hidden arithmetic patterns that are otherwise hard to spot.
