SSC CGL - 5th March 2020 Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q88

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 from the rest.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 5121 : 12

Understanding

The logic used here is:

2nd number = Sum of each digit of first number.

Option 1: 7456: 22

7 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 22

Option 2: 5121: 12

5 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 9

Option 3: 4209: 15

4 + 2 + 0 + 9 = 15

Option 4: 8101: 10

8 + 1 + 0 + 1 = 10

Option 2 does not follow the pattern.

Hence, 5121: 12 is the odd one out.
