\nThe correct answer is B) GH24.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe pattern for most items is that the sum of the alphabetical positions of the two letters, when multiplied by 2, equals the number.
\n– EF: E is the 5th letter, F is the 6th. 5 + 6 = 11. 11 * 2 = 22. (Matches EF22)
\n– JK: J is the 10th letter, K is the 11th. 10 + 11 = 21. 21 * 2 = 42. (Matches JK42)
\n– GH: G is the 7th letter, H is the 8th. 7 + 8 = 15. 15 * 2 = 30. The number given is 24. (Does not match GH24)
\n– VW: V is the 22nd letter, W is the 23rd. 22 + 23 = 45. 45 * 2 = 90. (Matches VW90)
\n– IJ: I is the 9th letter, J is the 10th. 9 + 10 = 19. 19 * 2 = 38. (Matches IJ38)
\nAll items except GH24 follow this pattern.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThis is a common type of reasoning question that tests pattern recognition based on alphabetical order and arithmetic operations. Always check for simple relationships between letter positions and the given numbers, such as sums, differences, products, or sequences.
