SSC CGL - 18 Aug 2021 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q97

Four number-pairs have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the number pair that is different. (Any operation on digits is not allowed)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 197: 66.

The logic used here is:

2nd number × 3 + 5 = 1st number

Option 1: 326: 107

107 × 3 + 5 = 326

This follows the logic.

Option 2: 239: 78

78 × 3 + 5 = 239

This follows the logic.

Option 3: 308: 101

101 × 3 + 5 = 308

This follows the logic.

Option 4: 197: 66

66 × 3 + 5 = 203

This does not follow the logic.

Hence, option 4 is the odd one out.
