Question
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y ZFour of the following five letter groups of the English alphabet given above are alike in a certain way and so form a group. On the basis of their position in English alphabet, which is the one that does not belong the group?
Options:
A .  DKG
B .  FMI
C .  MTP
D .  JQM
E .  HOL
Answer: Option E


To solve this problem, let's analyze each letter group based on their positions in the English alphabet:

(A) DKG:

  • D is at position 4.
  • K is at position 11.
  • G is at position 7.

The difference between consecutive letters:

  • K - D = 11 - 4 = 7
  • G - K = 7 - 11 = -4

(B) FMI:

  • F is at position 6.
  • M is at position 13.
  • I is at position 9.

The difference between consecutive letters:

  • M - F = 13 - 6 = 7
  • I - M = 9 - 13 = -4

(C) MTP:

  • M is at position 13.
  • T is at position 20.
  • P is at position 16.

The difference between consecutive letters:

  • T - M = 20 - 13 = 7
  • P - T = 16 - 20 = -4

(D) JQM:

  • J is at position 10.
  • Q is at position 17.
  • M is at position 13.

The difference between consecutive letters:

  • Q - J = 17 - 10 = 7
  • M - Q = 13 - 17 = -4

(E) HOL:

  • H is at position 8.
  • O is at position 15.
  • L is at position 12.

The difference between consecutive letters:

  • O - H = 15 - 8 = 7
  • L - O = 12 - 15 = -3

Based on the analysis:

  • Options (A), (B), (C), and (D) follow a pattern where the difference between consecutive letters alternates between +7 and -4.
  • Option (E) does not follow this pattern. Although the difference between O and H is +7, the difference between L and O is -3 instead of -4.

Therefore, the letter group (E) HOL does not belong to the group formed by the other options.

The correct answer is (E) HOL.
