Understanding

Application

The alphabets from A to Z takes a numerical position value from 1 to 26.

 

The difference of Sum of numerical position value of last 2 alphabets and Sum of numerical position value of the first 2 alphabets is 22.

 

 

GKRV: [R(18) + V(22)] – [G(7) + K(11)] = 22

BFMQ: [M(13) + Q(17)] – [B(2) + F(6)] = 22

EHPS: [P(16) + S(19)] – [E(5) +H(8)] = 22

DGKL: [K(11) + L(12)] – [D(4) +G(7)] = 12

Hence, DGKL is odd one.
