SSC CGL - 21 July 2023 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q97

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: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (10, 100).

Logic : (Square of First number - 2) = Second number

As,

Option 1: (8, 62) ⇒ (8)2 - 2 = 64 - 2 = 62

Option 2: (10, 100) ⇒ (10)2 - 2 = 100 - 2 = 98 (not 100)

Option 3: (14, 194) ⇒ (14)2 - 2 = 196 - 2 = 194

Option 4: (12, 142) ⇒ (12)2 - 2 = 144 - 2 = 142

So, (10, 100) is different one.

Hence, the correct answer is (10, 100).
