Select the triad that follows the same pattern as that followed by the two triads given below. Both triads follow the same pattern.
GN-JQ-MP
DK-GN-JM

The correct option is JQ-MT-PS.

Let's analyze the pattern followed by the letter pairs in the given triads.

First, convert the letters into their corresponding alphabetical positions (A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26):

G = 7, N = 14

J = 10, Q = 17

M = 13, P = 16

D = 4, K = 11

S = 19, T = 20

Triad 1: GN - JQ - MP

1. GN: Position difference between letters: 14 - 7 = +7

2. JQ: Position difference between letters: 17 - 10 = +7

3. MP: Position difference between letters: 16 - 13 = +3

Notice the relationship between the first letters of consecutive pairs in Triad 1:

G (7) + 3 = J (10)

J (10) + 3 = M (13)

Triad 2: DK - GN - JM

1. DK: Position difference between letters: 11 - 4 = +7

2. GN: Position difference between letters: 14 - 7 = +7

3. JM: Position difference between letters: 13 - 10 = +3

Notice the relationship between the first letters of consecutive pairs in Triad 2:

D (4) + 3 = G (7)

G (7) + 3 = J (10)

Pattern Summary:

1. The first letter of each pair increases by +3 to get the first letter of the next pair.

2. The difference between the two letters in the 1st pair is +7.

3. The difference between the two letters in the 2nd pair is +7.

4. The difference between the two letters in the 3rd pair is +3.

Now, let's test JQ - MT - PS:

1. First letters: J (10) + 3 = M (13), and M (13) + 3 = P (16). This matches the pattern!

2. JQ: Q (17) - J (10) = +7

3. MT: T (20) - M (13) = +7

4. PS: S (19) - P (16) = +3

Hence, the triad JQ-MT-PS follows the exact same pattern.
