24. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CHSL 13/03/2023 (4th Shift)]

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

Correct Answer: (a) 13 - 2199
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)³ + 1 = 2nd number 
(14 - 2745) → 14³ + 1 = 2745   
(12 - 1729) → 12³ + 1 = 1729
(17 - 4914) → 17³ + 1 = 4914 
But,

(13 - 2199) → 13³ + 1 = 2198 ≠ 2199

Hence, (13 - 2199) is the correct answer.

25. Select the option which is different from the rest. [S.S.C CHSL 13/03/2023 (4th Shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) PRS
Solution:The pattern followed here is :
BDF → (B + 2 = D), (D + 2 = F)
UWY → (U + 2 = W), (W + 2 = Y)
IKM → (I + 2 = K), (K + 2 = M)
But,

PRS → (P + 2 = R), (R + 1 ≠ S)

Hence, PRS is the correct answer.

26. Select the odd word pair from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CHSL 14/03/2023 (1st Shift)]

27. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CHSL 14/03/2023 (1st Shift)]

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

Correct Answer: (a) 278 - 1122
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number) × 4 = 2nd number
(588 - 2352) → (588 × 4 = 2352)

(378 - 1512) → (378 × 4 = 1512)

(648 - 2592) → (648 × 4 = 2592)
But,

(278 - 1122) → (278 × 4 = 1112 ≠ 1122)

Hence, (278 - 1122) is the correct answer.

28. Select the odd word pair from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CHSL 14/03/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (a) Sugarcane - Jaggery
Solution:Sack is made up jute

Road is made of asphalt

Wall is made of brick

But,

Jaggery is made from sugarcane not vice versa.

Hence, (Sugarcane - jaggery) is the correct answer

29. In the following question, select the odd letter/letters from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CHSL 14/03/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (c) VZC
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

SWA → (S + 4 = W), (W + 4 = A)
UYC → (U + 4 = Y), (Y + 4 = C)
CGK → (C + 4 = G), (G + 4 = K)

But,

VZC → (V + 4 = Z), (Z + 3 = C)

Hence, VZC is the correct answer.

30. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CHSL 14/03/2023 (2nd Shift)]

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

Correct Answer: (a) 14 - 2762
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)³ + 2 = 2nd number

(16 - 4098) → 16³ + 2 = 4098
(11 - 1333) → 11³ + 2 = 1333
(13 - 2199) → 13³ + 2 = 2199

But,

(14 - 2762) → 14² + 2 = 2746 ≠ 2762

Hence, (14 - 2762) is the correct answer.
