SSC CPO 2019 PYQ — Question 156

SSC CPO Tier I - 9th December 2019 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q156

Four pairs of numbers have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner, while one is different. Choose out the odd one.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 64 - 32.

Understanding Application

The pattern is the addition of the given two numbers. Then the number is divisible by 19.

1) 16 - 3 = 16 + 3 = 19 (19 x 1 = 19)

2) 50 - 7 = 50 + 7 = 57 (19 x 3 = 57)

3) 51 - 25 = 51 + 25 = 76 (19 x 4 = 76)

4) 64 - 32 = 64 + 32 = 96 (Not divisible by 19)

 

 

 

 

In option 4, the pattern is the multiplication of 2 i.e. 32 x 2 = 64.

But option 1, 2 and, 3 doesn't follow the pattern.

Hence, option 4 i.e. 64 - 32 is the correct answer.
