Odd One Out (SSC CHSL 2022 Tier – 1) (Part

Total Questions: 49

1. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (1st Shift)]

(a) 3375 - 13500
(b) 2125 - 8600
(c) 2685 - 10740
(d) 1595 - 6380

Correct Answer: (b) 2125 - 8600

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1^st number) × 4 = 2^nd number
(3375 - 13500) → 3375 × 4 = 13500
(2685 - 10740) → 2685 × 4 = 10740
(1595 - 6380) → 1595 × 4 = 6380

But,

(2125 - 8600) → 2125 × 4 = 8500 (Not 8600)

Hence, (2125 - 8600) is the correct answer.

2. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (1st Shift)]

(a) 3333 - 6666
(b) 4444 - 8888
(c) 2222 - 4444
(d) 5555 - 7777

Correct Answer: (d) 5555 - 7777

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1^st number) × 2 = 2^nd number
(3333 - 6666) → (3333 × 2) = 6666
(4444 - 8888) → (4444 × 2) = 8888
(2222 - 4444) → (2222 × 2) = 4444

But,

(5555 - 7777) → (5555 × 2) = 11,110 (Not 7777)

Hence, (5555 - 7777) is the correct answer.

3. Select the odd letter/letters from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (2nd Shift)]

(a) OSX
(b) IMQ
(c) FJN
(d) NRV

Correct Answer: (a) OSX

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

1^st letter + 4(positioning value) = 2^nd letter and 2^nd letter + 4 = 3^rd letter

IMQ → (I + 4 = M) and (M + 4 = Q)
FJN → (F + 4 = J) and (J + 4 = N)
NRV → (N + 4 = R) and (R + 4 = V)
But,

OSX → (O + 4 = S) and (S + 5 ≠ X)

Hence, OSX is the correct answer.

4. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (2nd Shift)]

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

(a) 108 – 1257912
(b) 102 – 1061208
(c) 106 – 1191016
(d) 104 – 1124864

Correct Answer: (a) 108 – 1257912

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1^st number)³ = 2^nd number

(102 – 1061208) → (102)³ = 1061208
(106 – 1191016) → (106)³ = 1191016
(104 – 1124864) → (104)³ = 1124864

But,

(108 – 1257912) → (108)³ = 1259712 ≠ 1257912

Hence, (108 – 1257912) is the correct answer.

5. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (2nd Shift)]

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

(a) 638 – 2552
(b) 618 – 2472
(c) 1074 – 4396
(d) 508 – 2032

Correct Answer: (c) 1074 – 4396

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

2^nd number is completely divisible by the 1^st number

(638 – 2552) → 2552 is completely divisible by 638 (2552 ÷ 638 = 4)

(618 – 2472) → 2472 is completely divisible by 618 (2472 ÷ 618 = 4)

(508 – 2032) → 2032 is completely divisible by 508 (2032 ÷ 508 = 4)

But,

(1074 – 4396) → 4396 is not completely divisible by 1074 (4396 ÷ 1074 ≠ 4)

Hence, (1074 – 4396) is the correct answer.

6. Select the odd letter/letters from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (3rd Shift)]

(a) PRV
(b) OQT
(c) ACF
(d) XZC

Correct Answer: (a) PRV

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, PRV is the correct answer.

7. Three of the four groups of words are alike in some manner. Select the odd group of words. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (3rd Shift)]

(a) Sailor, Doctor, Painter
(b) Engineer, Servant, Grocer
(c) Factory, Garage, Casino
(d) Mechanic, Astronomer, Warrior

Correct Answer: (c) Factory, Garage, Casino

(a) Pencil - Stationery
(b) Animal - Cat
(c) Circle - Figure
(d) Truck - Vehicle

Correct Answer: (b) Animal - Cat

Solution:All options are types of their category.
Pencil is a type of stationery.
Circle is a type of figure.
Truck is a type of vehicle.
Except for "animal," which is not a type of "cat."

9. In the following question, select the odd letter/letters from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (4th Shift)]

(a) PQOR
(b) FGEH
(c) UVTX
(d) ZAYB

Correct Answer: (c) UVTX

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

PQOR → (P + 1 = Q), (Q - 2 = O), (O + 3 = R)
FGEH → (F + 1 = G), (G - 2 = E), (E + 3 = H)
ZAYB → (Z + 1 = A), (A - 2 = Y), (Y + 3 = B)

But,
UVTX → (U + 1 = V), (V - 2 = T), (T + 3 = W ≠ X)

Hence, UVTX is the correct answer.

10. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (4th Shift)]

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

(a) 14 - 12
(b) 15 - 13
(c) 20 - 18
(d) 25 - 19

Correct Answer: (d) 25 - 19

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

All given options have a difference of 2, except option d, which has a difference of 6:
(14 - 12) → 14 - 12 = 2
(15 - 13) → 15 - 13 = 2
(20 - 18) → 20 - 18 = 2
(25 - 19) → 25 - 19 = 6 ≠ 2

Hence, (25 - 19) is the correct answer.
