SSC CPO 2020 PYQ — Question 157

SSC CPO - 25 Nov 2020 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q157

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: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e BSMK.

The logic used here is:

The Sum of all letters in each letter cluster should be 42.

Option 1: CQLJ

CQLJ = 3 + 17 + 12 + 11 = 42

This follows the logic.

Option 2: DPNH

DPNH = 4 + 16 + 14 + 8 = 42

This follows the logic.

Option 3: GKDT

GKDT = 7 + 11 + 4 + 20 = 42

This follows the logic.

Option 4: BSMK

BSMK = 2 + 19 + 13 + 11 = 45

This does not follow the logic.

Hence, option 4 is the odd one out.
