    Question

    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 one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)

    A.

    JM - IL

    B.

    NQ - MP

    C.

    FI - EH

    D.

    NT - JK

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    JM – IL, NQ – MP, FI – EH, NT – JK

    Logic:
    In each pair, the second cluster is formed by subtracting 1 alphabetically from each letter of the first cluster.

    Explanation (applied left to right):
    J − 1 = I, M − 1 = L → IL
    N − 1 = M, Q − 1 = P → MP
    F − 1 = E, I − 1 = H → EH
    N − 1 = M, T − 1 = S → JK (does not follow the pattern)

    Final Answer:
    NT – JK

    Final Correct Option:
    (d) NT – JK​
