Total Questions: 4

1. Which word does NOT belong to the group? [SSC CGL Tier II (02/03/2023)]

(The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be grouped based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word)

Correct Answer: (b) Keynote
Solution:Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are the programs of Microsoft, but Keynote is presentation design software for the Mac operating system.

2. Find the odd number-pair. [SSC CGL Tier II (03/03/2023)]

Correct Answer: (c) 8 : 29
Solution:Logic: first number × 3 + 3 = second number
10 : 33, 10 × 3 + 3 = 33
2 : 9, 2 × 3 + 3 = 9
6 : 21, 6 × 3 + 3 = 21
Whereas,
8 : 29, 8 × 3 + 3 = 27 ≠ 29

3. Find the odd number-pair. [SSC CGL Tier II (06/03/2023)]

Correct Answer: (a) 18 : 42
Solution:Logic: (First number × 2) + 4 = Second number
1 × 2 + 4 = 6, 15 × 2 + 4 = 34
7 × 2 + 4 = 18
But, 18 × 2 + 4 = 40 (not 42)

4. Which triad does NOT belong to the group? [SSC CGL Tier II (07/03/2023)]

Correct Answer: (b) 7 : 15 : 49
Solution:Square of first number = third number,
First number + (first number - 1) = second number
11 : 21 : 121, 11 + (11-1) = 21, 11² = 121
2 : 3 : 4, 2 + (2-1) = 3, 2² = 4
9 : 17 : 81, 9 + (9-1) = 17, 9² = 81
7 : 15 : 49, 7 + (7-1) = 13 ≠ 15, 7² = 49
