SSC CHSL 2021 PYQ — Question 92

SSC CHSL - 16 April 2021 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q92

Four letter clusters have been given in the options, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the letter cluster that is different.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. PTXBF.

The logic used here is:

1st letter + 4 = 2nd letter

2nd letter + 3 = 3rd letter

3rd letter + 4 = 4th letter

4th letter + 3 = 5th letter

Option 1: SWZDG

S + 4 = W

W + 3 = Z

Z + 4 = D

D + 3 = G

This follows the logic.

Option 2: JNQUX

J + 4 = N

N + 3 = Q

Q + 4 = U

U + 3 = X

This follows the logic.

Option 3: MQTXA

M + 4 = Q

Q + 3 = T

T + 4 = X

X + 3 = A

This follows the logic.

Option 4: PTXBF

P + 4 = T

T + 3 = W

W + 4 = A

A + 3 = D

This does not follow the logic.

Hence, option 4 is the odd one out.
