Select the set that does not follow the same rule as the others from the given options.
Correct Answer :
(29, H, *)
Solution :
The correct option is (29, H, *).
Let us analyze the pattern followed by the given sets.
Each set consists of three elements: a number, an English letter, and a special symbol.
Step 1: Analyze the relationship between the number and the letter:
Let us find the positional value of each letter in the English alphabet (where A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc.):
1. For (07, A, ^):
- The number is 7.
- The letter is 'A' (1st letter of the alphabet).
- Difference between the number and the letter's positional value:
2. For (13, E, $):
- The number is 13.
- The letter is 'E' (5th letter of the alphabet).
- Difference between the number and the letter's positional value:
3. For (11, D, &):
- The number is 11.
- The letter is 'D' (4th letter of the alphabet).
- Difference between the number and the letter's positional value:
Notice the pattern in the number property itself:
In sets (07, A, ^), (13, E, $), and (11, D, &), the first number is a prime number, and the letter's position subtracted from the prime number gives a consistent logical structure.
Step 2: Compare with Option (29, H, *):
- The number is 29.
- The letter is 'H' (8th letter of the alphabet).
- Difference:
More prominently, let's look at the mapping of prime numbers to letters:
- 7th prime number is 17, but here 7 corresponds to letter at position 1 (A).
- Alternatively, looking at letter position numbers:
A = 1st letter -> Prime number 7 (7 = 1 + 6)
E = 5th letter -> Prime number 13 (13 = 5 + 8)
D = 4th letter -> Prime number 11 (11 = 4 + 7)
H = 8th letter -> For H (8), following the pattern (Number = Position + 7 or prime relation), 29 is 8 + 21, which does not fit the small additive relation seen in the other options.
Therefore, the set (29, H, *) does not follow the same rule as the rest of the given options.
