Select the triad which follows the same pattern as that followed by the two triads given below. Both triads follow the same pattern. JE-KF-LMNI-OJ-PQ
OJ-PK-QS
QL-RM-SU
LG-MH-NO
PK-QL-RT
LG-MH-NO
Observe the jump in letters for each triplet: The 1st and 2nd letters increment by 1 each time, and the 2nd and 3rd letters also follow a consistent +1 or +2 pattern.

Analyze the given triads
Look at the pattern: JE-KF-LM. J(10) to K(11) is +1, K(11) to L(12) is +1. Similarly, E(5) to F(6) is +1. The 3rd component LM follows the sequence L(12), M(13). The pattern is essentially incrementing positions.
Check the second triad
NI-OJ-PQ: N(14) to O(15) is +1, O(15) to P(16) is +1. I(9) to J(10) is +1. The 3rd component PQ is P(16), Q(17). Both sets follow the same progression of consecutive letters.
Identify the pattern in options
We need a sequence where the letters follow the same incrementing logic. In Option C: QL-RM-SU. Q(17) to R(18) is +1. L(12) to M(13) is +1. This matches the incrementing structure of the original examples.
A: Does not maintain the alphabetical progression logic. B: The jump between letters is inconsistent with the primary pattern. D: The sequence shift does not follow the +1 consecutive pattern seen in the given triads.
C is correct because it follows the established pattern of incremental shifts (+1) observed in the letters of the given triads.
In alphabetical coding questions, convert letters to numbers (A=1, Z=26) immediately to simplify pattern detection.
