SSC CHSL - 28 Nov 2025 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q42

In the following question, four letter-number pairs are given. The letter-number on the left side of (–) is related to the letter-number on the right side of (–) with some Logic/Rule/Relation. Three pairs are similar on the basis of same Logic/Rule/Relation. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the number into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. 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: D

Explanation

1. SN1330 - QI11

S(19) → Q(17) [-2]

N(14) → I(9) [-5]

113 – 1 = 1331 – 1 = 1330

2. MP999 - KK10

M(13) → K(11) [-2]

P(16) → K(11) [-5]

103 – 1 = 1000 – 1 = 999

3. TC728 - RX9

T(20) → R(18) [-2]

C(3) → X(24) [-5] 

93 – 1 = 729 – 1 = 728

4. BW513 - ZR8

B(2) → Z(26) [-2]

W(23) → R(18) [-5]

83 – 1 = 512 – 1 = 511 ≠ 513

Option 4 is different
