Total Questions: 49

31. Select the odd letter-cluster. [S.S.C CGL 21/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

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

Hence, SUXZ is the correct answer.

32. Find the odd number pair. [S.S.C CGL 21/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) 72, 27
Solution:The pattern followed here is :
The ratio of 1st and 2nd number is (4 : 3)
(64, 48) → (64 : 48) = 4 : 3
(96, 72) → (96 : 72) = 4 : 3
(108, 81) → (108 : 81) = 4 : 3
But,

(72, 27) → (72 : 27) = 8 : 3 (Not 4 : 3)

Hence, (72, 27) is the correct answer.

33. Select the set in which the numbers are NOT related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [S.S.C CGL 21/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

(4, 11, 137)
(3, 12, 153)

Correct Answer: (d) 4, 3, 61
Solution:The pattern followed here is :
(1st number)² + (2nd number)² = 3rd number 
(4, 11, 137) → (4² + 11²) ⇒ (16 + 121) = 137
(3, 12, 153) → (3² + 12²) ⇒ (9 + 144) = 153

(7, 8, 113) → (7² + 8²) ⇒ (49 + 64) = 113

(13, 14, 365) → (13² + 14²) ⇒ (169 + 196) = 365

(9, 11, 202) → (9² + 11²) ⇒ (81 + 121) = 202
But,

(4, 3, 61) → (4² + 3²) ⇒ (16 + 9) = 25 ≠ 61

Hence, (4, 3, 61) is the correct answer.

34. Find the odd number pair. [S.S.C CGL 21/07/2023 (4th shift)]

Correct Answer: (c) 5, 430
Solution:The pattern followed here is :
(1st number)⁴ + (1st number)³ = 2nd number 
(2, 24) → (2⁴ + 2³) ⇒ (16 + 8) = 24
(4, 320) → (4⁴ + 4³) ⇒ (256 + 64) = 320
(3, 108) → (3⁴ + 3³) ⇒ (81 + 27) = 108
But,

(5, 430) → (5⁴ + 5³) ⇒ (625 + 125) = 750 (Not 430)

Hence, (5, 430) is the correct answer.

35. Find the odd number pair. [S.S.C CGL 24/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) (216, 49)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :
(2nd number × 8) = 1st number 
(1000, 125) → 125 × 8 = 1000
(1728, 216) → 216 × 8 = 1728
(512, 64) → 64 × 8 = 512
But,

(216, 49) → 49 × 8 = 392 (Not 216)

Hence, (216, 49) is the correct answer.

36. Which triad does NOT belong to the group? [S.S.C CGL 24/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

Correct Answer: (c) 7 : 15 : 49
Solution:
(11 : 21 : 121) → {(11 × 2) - 1} = 21 and (11)² = 121
(2 : 3 : 4) → {(2 × 2) - 1} = 3 and (2)² = 4
(9 : 17 : 81) → {(9 × 2) - 1} = 17 and (9)² = 81
But,

(7 : 15 : 49) → {(7 × 2) - 1} = 13 ≠ 15 and (7)² = 49

Hence, (7 : 25 : 49) is the correct answer.

37. Pick the odd one out. [S.S.C CGL 24/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) JOH
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, JOH is the correct answer.

38. Pick the odd one out. [S.S.C CGL 24/07/2023 (4th shift)]

Correct Answer: (a) FGJP
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, FGJP is the correct answer.

39. Find the odd number-pair. [S.S.C CGL 24/07/2023 (4th shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) 186 : 7
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

1st number is completely divisible by 2nd number.
(16 : 2) → 16 is completely divisible by 2

(100 : 5) → 100 is completely divisible by 5

(36 : 3) → 36 is completely divisible by 3

But,

(186 : 7) → 186 is not divisible by 7

Hence, (186 : 7) is the correct answer.

40. Pick the odd one out. [S.S.C CGL 25/07/2023 (1st shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) DCB
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, DCB is the correct answer.
