Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-cluster pairs are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which letter-cluster pair does not belong to that group?
(
Note:
The odd letter-cluster pair is not based on the number of consonants/vowels in it or their position.)
- AOption (a)
AX−YY
- BOption (b)
KH−JG
- COption (c)
XU−WT
- DOption (d)
HE−GD

Correct answer
AX−YY
Why this answer is correct
Logic followed here is: The second letter-cluster in each pair is obtained by subtracting 1 from the positional value of each letter in the first letter-cluster.
- AX - YY:
-
KH - JG:
-
XU - WT:
- HE - GD:
The pattern followed by KH-JG, XU-WT, and HE-GD is a subtraction of 1 from each letter's positional value. AX-YY does not follow this pattern.
Therefore, the odd letter-group pair is AX - YY.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
