Four of the following five are alike in a certain way and hence form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group?
1. SMILE : TNKLI
2. BRING: CSJOH
3. FLOUR: GMPVS
4. HOUSE: IPVTF
5. TRUTH : USVUI
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
SMILE → TNKLI
S→T(+1), M → N (+1), I → K(+2), L → L (+0), E → I (+4)
BRING → CSJOH
B→C (+1), R→S (+1), I→J (+1), N→O (+1), G→H (+1)
FLOUR → GMPVS
F→G (+1), L→M (+1), O→P (+1), U→V (+1), R→S (+1)
HOUSE → IPVTF
H→I (+1), O→P (+1), U→V (+1), S→T (+1), E→F (+1)
TRUTH → USVUI
T→U (+1), R→S (+1), U→V (+1), T→U (+1), H→I (+1)
Only SMILE → TNKLI does NOT follow +1 shift pattern.
Hence the correct answer is option 4.
