SSC CGL 2021 PYQ — Question 98

SSC CGL - 18 Aug 2021 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q98

Four letter clusters have been given, 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: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. XZTB.

The logic used here is:

1st letter + 2 = 2nd letter

2nd letter - 5 = 3rd letter

3rd letter + 7 = 4th letter

Option 1: BDYF

B + 2 = D

D - 5 = Y

Y + 7 = F

This follows the logic.

Option 2: XZTB

X + 2 = Z

Z - 5 = U

U + 7 = B

This does not follow the logic.

Hence, option 2 is the odd one out.
