SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 99

SSC CGL - 01 Dec 2022 - Shift 4 • Reasoning • Q99

Select the odd group of numbers. (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 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: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (15 – 220 – 215).

The logic used here is: (1st number)2 = 2nd number, 2nd number - 5 = 3rd number

Option 1: (15 – 220 – 215): 152 = 225, 225 - 5 = 220, This does not follow the logic.
