SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 83

SSC CGL - 09 Sep 2024 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q83

In the following number-pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the first number. In three of the four pairs, the same pattern is applied and hence they form a group. Select the number-pair that DOES NOT belong to this group.

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1
and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 385 - 152.

Logic: The difference between the first and the second number is 216

1. 335 - 119 = 216

2. 385 - 152 = 233 

3. 317 - 101 = 216

4. 308 - 92 = 216
