SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 100

SSC CGL - 05 Dec 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q100

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: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (7 – 70 – 1600).

The logic used here is: 1st number × 10 = 2nd number, 2nd number × 20 = 3rd number

Option 1: (6 – 60 – 1200): 6 × 10 = 60, 60 × 20 = 1200, This follows the logic.

Option 2: (7 – 70 – 1600): 7 × 10 = 70, 70 × 20 = 1400, This does not follow the logic.
