SSC CGL 2021 PYQ — Question 81

SSC CGL - 23 Aug 2021 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q81

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. GIEY.

The logic used here is:

1st letter + 2 = 2nd letter

2nd letter - 4 = 3rd letter

3rd letter + 6 = 4th letter  

Option 1: LNJP

L + 2 = N

N - 4 = J

J + 6 = P

This follows the logic.

Option 2:  GIEY

G + 2 = I

I - 4 = E

E + 6 = K

This does not follow the logic.

Hence, option 2 is the odd one out.
