Odd One Out (SSC CGL 2022 Tier – 1)

📆 November 14, 2024

Total Questions: 54

21. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. [SSC CGL 05/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)

Correct Answer: (a) 12 - 50
Solution:In 12 - 50 :- (12 × 4 + 2) = 50
In 8 - 36 :- (8 × 4 + 4) = 36
In 10 - 44:- (10 × 4 + 4) = 44
In 18 - 76:- (18 × 4 + 4) = 76
Hence, we can clearly see that 12 - 50 is not following the pattern.

22. Based on the position in the English alphabetical order, three of the following letter-clusters are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the odd letter-cluster. [SSC CGL 05/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (a) ZWSQ
Solution:In ZWSQ ⇒ Z - 3 = W, W - 4 = S, S - 2 = Q
In TRNL ⇒ T - 2 = R, R - 4 = N, N - 2 = L
In PNJH ⇒ P - 2 = N, N - 4 = J, J - 2 = H
In JHDB ⇒ J - 2 = H, H - 4 = D, D - 2 = B
Hence, we can clearly see that ZWSQ is not following the pattern.

23. Which letter-cluster does not belong to the group? [SSC CGL 05/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) XFKI
Solution:In AMRW ⇒ A + 12 = M, M + 5 = R, R + 5 = W
In XFIK ⇒ X + 8 = F, F + 3 = I, I + 2 = K
In PBGL ⇒ P + 12 = B, B + 5 = G, G + 5 = L
In KWBG ⇒ K + 12 = W, W + 5 = B, B + 5 = G
Hence we can see that all of them are following the same pattern except XFIK.

24. Which letter-cluster does not belong to the group? [SSC CGL 06/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) VCDR
Solution:Logic: First and Third letter of each word is Opposite to each other.
In SXHP: S ↔ H
In UZFR: U ↔ F
In XCCU: X ↔ C
In VCDR: V ↔ D (wrong)
Hence, we can say that, VCDR is not following the pattern.

25. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. [SSC CGL 06/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)

Correct Answer: (a) 8 - 60
Solution:Logic : (n : n² - 3)
(8, 60) ⇒ (8 : 8² - 3 ≠ 60)
(6, 33) ⇒ (6 : 6² - 3 = 33)
(12, 141) ⇒ (12 : 12² - 3 = 141)
(10, 97) ⇒ (10 : 10² - 3 = 97)
Hence, we can see that all of them follow the same logic except (8, 60).

26. Which letter - cluster does not belong to the group? [SSC CGL 06/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (c) XYA
Solution:Pattern:- [first letter +1 = second letter] and [second letter +3 = third letter]
IJM ⇒ I + 1 = J and J + 3 = M
ABE ⇒ A + 1 = B and B + 3 = E
EFI ⇒ E + 1 = F and F + 3 = I
XYA ⇒ X + 1 = Y and Y + 3 ≠ A (not follows)

27. Select the odd group of numbers. [SSC CGL 06/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)

Correct Answer: (b) 14 - 200
Solution:Pattern:- {(first num)² + 6 = second num}
(20 – 406) ⇒ (20)² + 6 = 406
(14 – 200) ⇒ (14)² + 6 = 202 ≠ 200
(10 – 106) ⇒ (10)² + 6 = 106
(12 – 150) ⇒ (12)² + 6 = 150

28. Select the odd group of numbers. [SSC CGL 06/12/2022 (4th Shift)]

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)

Correct Answer: (a) 14 - 193
Solution:Logic : (n : n² – 5)
(14 : 193) ⇒ (14 : 14² – 5 ≠193)
(15 : 225) ⇒ (15 : 15² – 5 = 220)
(16 : 251) ⇒ (16 : 16² – 5 = 251)
(17 : 284) ⇒ (17 : 17² – 5 = 284)
Hence, we can see that all are following the same logic except (14 : 193)

29. Which letter-cluster does not belong to the group? [SSC CGL 06/12/2022 (4th Shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) JFOQ
Solution:Logic : Alternate letters of each word are opposite to each other.
In PRKI ⇒ here P↔K and R↔I
In JFOQ ⇒ here J↔O and F↔Q (not opposite to each other)
In UWFD ⇒ here U↔F and W↔D
In XZCA ⇒ here X↔C and Z↔A
Hence, we can see that all are following the same logic except JFOQ

30. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. [SSC CGL 07/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)

Correct Answer: (b) 44 - 84
Solution:In 16 – 30:- (16 x 2) - 2 = 30
In 44 - 84:- (44 x 2) - 4 = 84
In 14 - 26:- (14 x 2) - 2 = 26
In 18 - 34:- (18 x 2) - 2 = 34
As we can clearly see, 44 - 84 is not following the pattern.
