Total Questions: 50

31. Three of the following four are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that does NOT belong to that group? [SSC CHSL 07/08/2023 (4th Shift)]

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

 

Correct Answer: (a) 8 - 72
Note:

Logic: 1st num × (1st num + 2) = 2nd num

  • 11 - 143 → 11 × (11 + 2) = 11 × 13 = 143
  • 7 - 63 → 7 × (7 + 2) = 7 × 9 = 63
  • 9 - 99 → 9 × (9 + 2) = 9 × 11 = 99
  • 8 - 72 → 8 × (8 + 2) = 8 × 10 = 80 (Not 72)

32. Four number pairs have been given out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the one that is different. [SSC CHSL 07/08/2023 (4th Shift)]

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

 

Correct Answer: (b) 24 - 125
Note:

 Logic: (1st num + 2) × 5 = 2nd num

  • 31 - 165 → (31 + 2) × 5 = 33 × 5 = 165
  • 13 - 75 → (13 + 2) × 5 = 15 × 5 = 75
  • 19 - 105 → (19 + 2) × 5 = 21 × 5 = 105
  • 24 - 125 → (24 + 2) × 5 = 26 × 5 = 130 (Not 125)

33. Three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in some manner and hence form a group. Which letter-cluster does not belong to that group? [SSC CHSL 07/08/2023 (4th Shift)]

Correct Answer: (a) TSQ
Note:

34. Three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that does NOT belong to that group? [SSC CHSL 08/08/2023 (1st Shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) ACD
Note:

35. Three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group? [SSC CHSL 08/08/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) ZAB
Note:

36. The second number in the given number pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operations (s) on the first number. [SSC CHSL 08/08/2023 (2nd Shift)]

The same operations are followed in all the number pairs except one. Find the odd number pair.

Correct Answer: (b) 2 : 10
Note:

Logic: 1st num × (1st num + 4) = 2nd num

  • 5 : 45 → 5 × (5 + 4) = 5 × 9 = 45
  • 3 : 21 → 3 × (3 + 4) = 3 × 7 = 21
  • 4 : 32 → 4 × (4 + 4) = 4 × 8 = 32
  • But, 2 : 10 → 2 × (2 + 4) = 2 × 6 = 12 (Not 10)

37. Based on the alphabetical order, three of the following four are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that does NOT belong to that group? [SSC CHSL 08/08/2023 (3rd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) BEH
Note:

38. Four number-pairs have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the one that is different. [SSC CHSL 08/08/2023 (4th Shift)]

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

 

Correct Answer: (d) 15 : 244
Note:

Logic:

(1st number)² + 9 = 2nd number

  • (19)² + 9 = 370 
  • (17)² + 9 = 298
  • (11)²  + 9 = 130 

But,

  • (15)²  + 9 = 234 (Not 244)

39. Three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that does NOT belong to that group? [SSC CHSL 08/08/2023 (4th Shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) TVX
Note:

40. Three of the following four are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that does NOT belong to that group? [SSC CHSL 08/08/2023 (4th Shift)]

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

 

Correct Answer: (b) 33 - 26 - 25
Note:

Logic: (1st no. - 2nd no.) × 5 = 3rd no.
(17 - 14) × 5 = 15
(39 - 33) × 5 = 30
(22 - 18) × 5 = 20
But, (33 - 26) × 5 = 35 ≠ 25
