SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 94

SSC CGL - 03 Dec 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q94

Select the odd group of numbers. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers 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: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 5 – 31.

The logic used here is: (1st number)2 - 10 = 2nd number

Option 1: 13 – 159: 132 - 10 = 169 - 10 = 159, This follows the logic.

Option 3: 5 – 31: 52 - 10 = 25 - 10 = 15, This does not follow the logic.
