Odd One Out (SSC CHSL 2020 Tier – 1)

The sum of alphabetical positioning of all the letter options are 50.

HKMR → H(8) + k(11) + M(13) + R(18) = 50

FMNQ → F(6) + M(13) + N(14) + Q(17) = 50

BJPV → B(2) + J(10) + P(16) + V(22) = 50

But,

DLRT → D(4) + L(12) + R(18) + T(20) = 54 ≠ 50

Hence, DLRT is the correct answer.

2197, 1331 & 125 are the perfect cube of a number.

But,

24 is not a perfect cube.

Hence, 24 is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is :

{(1^st number)² + 2} = 2^nd number

(17 : 291) → 17² + 2 ⇒ 289 + 2 = 291

(15 : 227) → 15² + 2 ⇒ 225 + 2 = 227

(11 : 123) → 11² + 2 ⇒ 121 + 2 = 123

But,

(13 : 169) → 13² + 2 ⇒ 169 + 2 = 167 ≠ 169

Hence, (13 : 169) is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is :

{1^st letter + 2 = 2^nd letter}, {2^nd letter + 3 = 3^rd letter} & {3^rd letter + 4 = 4^th letter} 

LNQU → (L + 2 = N), (N + 3 = Q) & (Q + 4 = U)

QSVZ → (Q + 2 = S), (S + 3 = V) & (V + 4 = Z)

ACFJ → (A + 2 = C), (C + 3 = F) & (F + 4 = J)

But,

KMQT → (K + 2 = M), (M + 3 ≠ Q) & (Q + 4 ≠ T)

Hence, KMQT is the correct answer.

All the numbers are multiple of 3

But,

In option (d) 202 and 404 is not a multiple of 3.

Hence, (202, 404, 909) is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is :

{(1^st number) × 12} = 2^nd number

(17 : 204) → 17 × 12 = 204

(7 : 84) → 7 × 12 = 84

(11 : 132) → 11 × 12 = 132

But,

(9 : 99) → 9 × 12 = 108 ≠ 99

Hence, (9 : 99) is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is :

{1^st letter - 3 = 2^nd letter}, {2^nd letter - 3 = 3^rd letter} & {3^rd letter - 3 = 4^th letter} 

UROL → (U - 3 = R), (R - 3 = O) & (O - 3 = L)

QNKH → (Q - 3 = N), (N - 3 = K) & (K - 3 = H)

JGDA → (J - 3 = G), (G - 3 = D) & (D - 3 = A)

But,

GDBY → (G - 3 = D), (D - 3 ≠ B) & (B - 3 = Y)

Hence, GBDY is the correct answer.

199, 139 & 163 are prime numbers

But,

183 is not a prime number

Hence, 183 is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is :

{2^nd number × (2^nd number + 3) + 1} = 1^st number

(271 : 15) → {15 × (15 + 3) + 1} ⇒ {(15 × 18) + 1} ⇒ 270 + 1 = 271

(181 : 12) → {12 × (12 + 3) + 1} ⇒ {(12 × 15) + 1} ⇒ 180 + 1 = 181

(305 : 16) → {16 × (16 + 3) + 1} ⇒ {(16 × 19) + 1} ⇒ 304 + 1 = 305

But,

(398 : 18) → {18 × (18 + 3) + 1} ⇒ {(18 × 21) + 1} ⇒ 378 + 1 = 379 ≠ 398

Hence, (398 : 18) is the correct answer.

But,

Waddle is way of walking with a low gait, typically with the body swaying from side to side, and is not a sound.

Hence, Waddle is the correct answer.
