SSC CHSL - 26 May 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q89

The second number in the given number-pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number. The same operation(s) are followed in all the number-pairs EXCEPT one. Find that odd number-pair.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 100 : 9

The logic used here is: 

25 : 3 :- (3 + 2)2 = 25

64 : 6 :- (6 + 2)2 = 64

81 : 7 :- (7 + 2)2 = 81

But, 100 : 9 :- (9 + 1)2 = 100

Out of the four options, option 3 is the odd one out.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
