Odd One Out (SSC CPO 2019 Tier – 1)

Total Questions: 17

11. Choose the odd one. [S.S.C CPO 12/12/2019 (Morning)]

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

Sum of alphabetical positions of 1st and 2nd letter = 3rd letter

DGK → D(4) + G(7) = K(11)

MLY → M(13) + L(12) = Y(25)

QFW → Q(4) + F(6) = W(23)

But,

ENR → E(5) + N(14) = S(19) ≠ R(18)

Hence, "ENR" is the odd one.

12. Rearrange the given letters to form meaningful words and select the option which is different from the other three words. [S.S.C CPO 12/12/2019 (Evening)]

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

Arranging the words in a meaningful order,
REAYBL → BARLEY
ETWAH → WHEAT
EZAMI → MAIZE
SEHCWA → CASHEW

Hence, Wheat, Barley, and Maize are cereals.

But,

Cashew is a dry fruit.

Hence, "SEHCWA" is the odd one.

13. Select the one that is different. [S.S.C CPO 12/12/2019 (Evening)]

Correct Answer: (a) 73 - 79
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(31 - 41), (61 - 71) & (83 - 97) are not consecutive prime numbers.

But,

73 and 79 are a pair of continuous prime numbers.

Hence, "(73 - 79)" is the odd one.

14. Select the odd word. [S.S.C CPO 13/12/2019 (Morning)]

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

Except for Morose, all the other words are synonyms.

Hence, "Morose" is the odd one.

15. Select the odd one. [S.S.C CPO 13/12/2019 (Morning)]

Correct Answer: (a) OPR - JKL
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Corresponding letters are coded as the opposite letters.

But,

(OPR - JKL), As, J is not opposite to O and L is not opposite to R.

Hence, "(OPR - JKL)" is the odd one.

16. Select the number that is different from the rest. [S.S.C CPO 13/12/2019 (Evening)]

Correct Answer: (d) 178
