SSC CPO 2019 PYQ — Question 154

SSC CPO Tier I - 11th December 2019 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q154

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: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 236 : 325 : 263.

Understanding Application

The pattern followed in the options is:

Option 1 - 761 : 617 : 176

All the digits remain the same in each cluster, just their order changes.

Option 2 - 416 : 641 : 461

All the digits remain the same in each cluster, just their order changes.

Option 4 - 189 : 198 : 819

All the digits remain the same in each cluster, just their order changes.

Thus, the odd one out is Option 3 i.e. 236 : 325 : 263.

It is so because the digits in all the three sets have changed. It does not follow the same pattern as followed by the other options.
