Four letter clusters have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner, while one is different. Choose the odd one.

  1. A
    GAT
  2. B
    DAT
  3. C
    EAV
  4. D
    WAD

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze the relationship between the first and last letters of each option using their positional values in the English alphabet:
GAT: G=7, T=20. Sum of positions = 7+20=27 (Opposite pairs).

DAT: D=4, T=20. Sum of positions = 4+20=24.

EAV: E=5, V=22. Sum of positions = 5+22=27 (Opposite pairs).

WAD: W=23, D=4. Sum of positions = 23+4=27 (Opposite pairs).

In all options except DAT, the first and last letters are opposite pairs of the alphabet (their sum is 27).
