Let's assign numerical positions to the letters in the English alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26). A) BDW: B=2, D=4, W=23 B) GIQ: G=7, I=9, Q=17 C) FHS: F=6, H=8, S=19 D) IKP: I=9, K=11, P=16Let the three letters in each option be $L_1, L_2, L_3$ with positions $p_1, p_2, p_3$. Let's look for patterns in the positions. Check the difference between the positions of the first two letters: A) $p_2 - p_1 = 4 - 2 = 2$. B) $p_2 - p_1 = 9 - 7 = 2$. C) $p_2 - p_1 = 8 - 6 = 2$. D) $p_2 - p_1 = 11 - 9 = 2$. All options show a difference of +2 between the first and second letter positions.Now let's check the relationship between the second and third letters. Consider the sum of positions of the second and third letters: A) $p_2 + p_3 = 4 + 23 = 27$. B) $p_2 + p_3 = 9 + 17 = 26$. C) $p_2 + p_3 = 8 + 19 = 27$. D) $p_2 + p_3 = 11 + 16 = 27$.In options A, C, and D, the sum of the positions of the second and third letters is 27. This means the second and third letters are complementary letters with respect to the alphabet (e.g., B+Y=2+25=27, C+X=3+24=27). In option B, the sum of the positions of the second and third letters is 26.Therefore, option B (GIQ) does not follow the pattern ($p_2+p_3=27$) observed in the other three options.
Out of given options which one is different from other three?
