SSC CGL - 9th March 2020 Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q93

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e 21:  154.

The logic used here is:

2nd number = (1st number × 7) - 3

Option 1: 39: 270

(39 × 7) - 3 = 273 - 3 = 270

Option 2: 21: 154

(21× 7) - 3 = 147 - 3 = 144

Option 2 does not follow the pattern.

Option 3: 37: 256

(37 × 7) - 3 = 259 - 3 = 256

Option 4: 31: 214

(31 × 7) - 3 = 217 - 3 = 214

Hence, option 2 is the odd one out.

Hence, the correct answer is 21:  154.
