SSC CHSL - 13 April 2021 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q90

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

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 1049.

Understanding

The logic used here is:

Option 1: 127 = 27 - 1 = 128 - 1 = 127

Option 2: 1049 could not be broken in this manner.

Option 3: 4095 = 212 - 1 = 4096 - 1 = 4095

Option 4: 255 = 28 - 1 = 256 - 1 = 255

Hence, option 2 is the odd one out.
