Total Questions: 49

41. Find the odd number pair. [S.S.C CGL 25/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) 23, 270
Solution:The pattern followed here is :
{(1st number × 11) + 7} = 2nd number
(21 : 238) → {(21 × 11) + 7} ⇒ (231 + 7) = 238
(17 : 194) → {(17 × 11) + 7} ⇒ (187 + 7) = 194
(13 : 150) → {(13 × 11) + 7} ⇒ (143 + 7) = 150
But,

(23 : 270) → {(23 × 11) + 7} ⇒ (253 + 7) = 260 (Not 270)

Hence, (23 : 270) is the correct answer.

42. Which triad does NOT belong to the group? [S.S.C CGL 25/07/2023 (4th shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) 35 : 36 : 6
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(3rd number)² - 1} = 1st number and 3rd number × 5 = 2nd number
(24 : 25 : 5) → (5² - 1) = 24 and (5 × 5) = 25
(8 : 15 : 3) → (3² - 1) = 8 and (3 × 5) = 15
(3 : 10 : 2) → (2² - 1) = 3 and (2 × 5) = 10
But,

(35 : 36 : 6) → (6² - 1) = 35 and (6 × 5) = 30 (Not 36)

Hence, (35 : 36 : 6) is the correct answer.

43. Pick the odd one out. [S.S.C CGL 25/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

Hence, JMP is the correct answer.

44. Pick the odd one out. [S.S.C CGL 26/07/2023 (1st shift)]

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

Hence, HIJK is the correct answer.

45. Find the odd number pair. [S.S.C CGL 26/07/2023 (1st shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) 6, 216
Solution:The pattern followed here is :
(1st number)³ = (2nd number)
(7, 252) → 7³ = 343 ≠ 252

(8, 392) → 8³ = 512 ≠ 392

(5, 80) → 5³ = 125 ≠ 80

But,

(6, 216) → 6³ = 216

Only (6, 216) follow the pattern

Hence, (6, 216) is the correct answer.

46. Find the odd number-pair. [S.S.C CGL 26/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) 36 : 365
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number ÷ 2) + 1)}² = 2nd number

(24 : 169) → {(24 ÷ 2) +1 )² ⇒ 13² = 169 

(12 : 49) → {(12 ÷ 2) +1 )² ⇒ 7² = 49

(48 : 625) → {(48 ÷ 2) +1 )² ⇒ 25² = 625

But,

(36 : 365) → {(36 ÷ 2) +1 )² ⇒ 19² = 361 (Not 365)

Hence, (36 : 365) is the correct answer.

47. Which letter-cluster does not belong to the group? [S.S.C CGL 26/07/2023 (4th shift)]

Correct Answer: (c) LMO
Solution:Except for LMO, all words are started from vowels, and LMO is started from consonants, therefore LMO does not belong to that group.

48. Find the odd number-pair. [S.S.C CGL 27/07/2023 (1st shift)]

Correct Answer: (a) 1826, 1472
Solution:The pattern followed here is :
(1st number - 2nd number) = 479
(1984, 1505) → (1984 - 1505) = 479
(1805, 1326) → (1805 - 1326) = 479
(2136, 1657) → (2136 - 1657) = 479
But,

(1826, 1472) → (1826 - 1472) = 354 (Not 479)

Hence, (1826, 1472) is the correct answer.

49. Pick the odd one out. [S.S.C CGL 27/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) GET
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, GET is the correct answer.
