SSC GD 2021 PYQ — Question 86

SSC GD Constable (English) - 23rd November 2021 Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q86

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. PQZY.

The logic used here is:

1st letter + 1 = 2nd letter

2nd letter + 10 = 3rd letter

3rd letter - 2 = 4th letter

Option 1: JKUS

J + 1 = K

K + 10 = U

U - 2 = S

This follows the logic.

Option 2: PQZY

P + 1 = Q

Q + 10 = A

A - 2 = Y

This does not follow the logic.

Hence, option 2 is the odd one out.
