SSC CPO 2020 PYQ — Question 164

SSC CPO - 23 Nov 2020 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q164

Three of the following four-letter- clusters are alike in a certain way and one is different. Pick the odd one out.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. HSNZ.

The logic used here is:

The Sum of all letters in each letter cluster should be 40.

Option 1: BYHE

BYHE = 2 + 25 + 8 + 5 = 40

This follows the logic.

Option 2: HSNZ

HSNZ = 8 + 19 + 14 + 26 = 67

Option 3: DWJC

DWJC = 4 + 23 + 10 + 3 = 40 

Option 4: UFAL

UFAL = 21 + 6 + 1 + 12 = 40

This does not follow the logic.

Hence, option 2 is the odd one out.
