SSC CPO - 12 Dec 2025 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q136

Find the odd number-pair:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Pattern: Second number = (First number) ² + 1

1) 2² + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

2) 5² + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26

3) 7² + 1 = 49 + 1 = 50 (given 48)

4) 10² + 1 = 100 + 1 = 101

Option 3 does not follow this pattern. Hence, option 3 is the odd pair.
