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?
A. DATE: EXWH
B. READ: SFBE
C. FISH: GJTI
D. BOOK: CPPL
E. CARD: DBSE
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Check letter values (A=1, B=2 … Z=26)
DATE → EXWH
D(4) A(1) T(20) E(5) → E(5) X(24) W(23) H(8) no fixed rule
READ → SFBE
R(18) E(5) A(1) D(4) → S(19) F(6) B(2) E(5) +1 each
All pairs follows same pattern (i.e. +1each letter).
Except DATE: EXWH.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
