Odd One Out (SSC CGL 2023 Tier – 1)

21. Find the odd number pair. [S.S.C CGL 19/07/2023 (1st shift)]

(c) 16 : 106
(a) 23 : 153
(b) 15 : 97
(d) 26 : 174

Correct Answer: (c) 16 : 106

Solution:The pattern followed here is :
(1^st number) × 7 - 8 = 2^nd number
(23 : 153) → {(23 × 7) - 8} ⇒ (161 - 8) = 153
(15 : 97) → {(15 × 7) - 8} ⇒ (105 - 8) = 97
(26 : 174) → {(26 × 7) - 8} ⇒ (182 - 8) = 174
But,

(16 : 106) → {(16 × 7) - 8} ⇒ (112 - 8) = 104 (Not 106)

Hence, (16 : 106) is the correct answer.

22. Find the odd number-pair. [S.S.C CGL 19/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

(a) 9 : 1458
(b) 3 : 54
(c) 5 : 685
(d) 5 : 250

Correct Answer: (c) 5 : 685

Solution:The pattern followed here is :
{(1^st number)³ × 2} = 2^nd number
(9 : 1458) → (9³ × 2) ⇒ (729 × 2) = 1458
(3 : 54) → (3³ × 2) ⇒ (27 × 2) = 54
(5 : 250) → (5³ × 2) ⇒ (125 × 2) = 250
But,

(5 : 685) → (5³ × 2) ⇒ (125 × 2) = 250 ≠ 685

Hence, (5 : 685) is the correct answer.

23. Pick the odd one out. [S.S.C CGL 19/07/2023 (4th shift)]

(a) PUXZ
(b) CHLP
(c) TYBD
(d) SXAC

Correct Answer: (b) CHLP

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, CHLP is the correct answer.

24. Find the odd number-pair. [S.S.C CGL 20/07/2023 (1st shift)]

(a) 80 : 9
(b) 142 : 12
(c) 23 : 5
(d) 7 : 3

Correct Answer: (a) 80 : 9

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

1^st number = {(2^nd number)² - 2}
(142 : 12) → (12² - 2) ⇒ (144 - 2) = 142
(23 : 5) → (5² - 2) ⇒ (25 - 2) = 23
(7 : 3) → (3² - 2) ⇒ (9 - 2) = 7
But,

(80 : 9) → (9² - 2) ⇒ (81 - 2) = 79 ≠ 80

Hence, (80 : 9) is the correct answer.

25. Pick the odd one out. [S.S.C CGL 20/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

(a) CXG
(b) IRM
(c) BYF
(d) GUK

Correct Answer: (d) GUK

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, GUK is the correct answer.

26. Find the odd number pair. [S.S.C CGL 20/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

(a) 6, 1260
(b) 5, 600
(c) 7, 2050
(d) 4, 240

Correct Answer: (c) 7, 2050

Solution:The pattern followed here is :
2^nd number is completely divisible by 1^st number
(6, 1260) → (1260) ÷ 6 = 210
(5, 600) → (600) ÷ 5 = 120
(4, 240) → (240) ÷ 4 = 60
But,

(7, 2050) → (2050) ÷ 7 = 292.8

Hence, (7, 2050) is the correct answer.

27. Find the odd number pair. [S.S.C CGL 20/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

(a) 19 : 363
(b) 13 : 171
(c) 3 : 17
(d) 7 : 51

Correct Answer: (c) 3 : 17

Solution:The pattern followed here is :
(1^st number)² + 2 = 2^nd number
(19 : 363) → (19² + 2) ⇒ (361 + 2) = 363
(13 : 171) → (13² + 2) ⇒ (169 + 2) = 171
(7 : 51) → (7² + 2) ⇒ (49 + 2) = 51
But,

(3 : 17) → (3² + 2) ⇒ (9 + 2) = 11 (Not 17)

Hence, (3 : 17) is the correct answer.

28. Select the odd letter-cluster. [S.S.C CGL 20/07/2023 (4th shift)]

(a) DJOS
(b) BHMQ
(c) PTXA
(d) HNSW

Correct Answer: (c) PTXA

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, PTXA is the correct answer.

29. Find the odd number pair. [S.S.C CGL 21/07/2023 (1st shift)]

(a) 8, 62
(b) 10, 100
(c) 14, 194
(d) 12, 142

Correct Answer: (b) 10, 100

Solution:

The pattern followed here is :

${(1 st number)² - 2} = 2 nd number$
(8, 62) → (8² - 2) ⇒ (64 - 2) = 62
(14, 194) → (14² - 2) ⇒ (196 - 2) = 194
(12, 142) → (12² - 2) ⇒ (144 - 2) = 142
But,

(10, 100) → (10² - 2) ⇒ (100 - 2) = 98 (Not 100)

Hence, (10, 100) is the correct answer.

30. Find the odd number-pair. [S.S.C CGL 21/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

(a) 7, 89
(b) 8, 102
(c) 5, 60
(d) 6, 76

Correct Answer: (c) 5, 60

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(7, 89) → {(7 × 13) - 2} ⇒ (91 - 2) = 89
(8, 102) → {(8 × 13) - 2} ⇒ (104 - 2) = 102
(6, 76) → {(6 × 13) - 2} ⇒ (78 - 2) = 76
But,

(5, 60) → {(5 × 13) - 2} ⇒ (65 - 2) = 63 (Not 60)

Hence, (5, 60) is the correct answer.
