    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.

    NR - MQ

    B.

    EI - DH

    C.

    RV - QU

    D.

    XZ - TL

    Correct option is D

    Logic: ​Each letter pair has a difference of +4 in alphabetical positions.
    Let's check options:
    Option A: NR - MQ
    N +4  →R
    M +4 → Q
    Option B: EI - DH 
    E +4 → I
    D +4 → H
    Option C: RV - QU
    R +4 → V
    Q +4 → U
    ​Option D: XZ - TL
    X +2 → Z
    T -8 → L
    So, Option D (XZ - TL) does NOT follow that.
    Thus, the correct option is: (d)
