SSC CGL 2021 PYQ — Question 94

SSC CGL - 17 Aug 2021 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q94

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: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e (18, 128).

Logic : 

2nd number is exactly divisible by the 1st number. Now we can use this logic in all the options and see:

1) (16, 112) 

     112 ÷ 16 ; R = 0

2) (17, 119)

     119 ÷ 17; R = 0

3) (18, 128)

     128 ÷ 18; R = 2

4) (15, 105)

     105 ÷ 15; R = 0

Since option 3 does not follow the pattern, hence (18, 128) is the different pair.
