Select the triad which follows the same pattern as that followed by the two triads given below. Both triads follow the same pattern. GL-IF-JM JO-LI-MP
KP-MJ-NO
NS-PM-QR
LQ-NK-OP
MR-OL-PS
MR-OL-PS
Analyze the position shifts: the 1st letter moves +3 positions forward in the alphabet (or to the corresponding pair) while the 2nd letter follows a specific sequence. Alternatively, observe the +3, -3, +1, +1 pattern logic.

Analyze Triad 1 (GL-IF-JM)
G(7) тЖТ I(9) [+2], L(12) тЖТ I(9) [-3]. I(9) тЖТ J(10) [+1], F(6) тЖТ M(13) [+7]. J(10) тЖТ M(13) [+3], M(13) тЖТ P(16) [+3].
Analyze Triad 2 (JO-LI-MP)
J(10) тЖТ L(12) [+2], O(15) тЖТ I(9) [-6]. L(12) тЖТ M(13) [+1], I(9) тЖТ P(16) [+7]. M(13) тЖТ M(13) [0], P(16) тЖТ S(19) [+3].
Verify Option D (MR-OL-PS)
The logic follows a systematic shift pattern between the paired letters in the triads, consistent with the transformation rules observed in the sequence.
A: Does not match the derived character shift pattern. B: Sequence logic fails on second letter interval. C: Incorrect letter distance mapping.
D is correct because the sequence MR-OL-PS adheres to the consistent alphabetical shift pattern observed in the provided example triads.
In alphabetical triad questions, always write the numeric position of letters (e.g., A=1, B=2) to quickly identify the arithmetic difference between terms.
