SSC CGL - 16 Aug 2021 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q84

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.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 15: 197

Logic : 

1st number x 7 - 8 = 2nd number 

We can apply this logic to all numbers and see the result.

 1. 15 x 7 - 8 = 105 - 8 = 97

 2. 25 x 7 - 8 = 175 - 8 = 167

 3. 27 x 7 - 8 = 189 - 8 = 181

 4. 21 x 7 - 8 = 147 - 8 = 139

All three are the same except for 1st option.

Hence, the correct answer is 15: 197.
