SSC GD Constable (English) - 16th November 2021 Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q86

Four number triads have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the number triad that is different

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (39, 48, 75).

The logic used here is:

First number + 19 = 2nd number

Second number  + 17 = 3rd number

Option1: (46, 65, 82)

46 + 19 = 65

65 + 17 = 82

This follows the logic.

Option 2: (54, 73, 90)

54 + 19 = 73

73 + 17 = 90

This follows the logic.

Option 3: (21, 40, 57)

21 + 19 = 40

40 + 17 = 57

This follows the logic.

Option 4: (39, 48, 75)

39 + 19 = 58

58 + 17 = 75

This does not follow the logic.

Hence, option 4 is the odd one out.
