SSC CHSL 2019 PYQ — Question 96

SSC CHSL - 2nd July 2019 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q96

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. GSVE

Understanding Application

The alphabets from A to Z take numerical position value from 1 to 26.

Reverse pair: Two alphabets form reverse pair if the sum of their numerical position values is 27.

CXGT

C(3) + X(24) = 27 : Reverse pair

G(7) + T(20) = 27 : Reverse pair

LOPK

L(12) + O(15) = 27 : Reverse pair

P(16) + K(11) = 27 : Reverse pair

MNQJ

M(13) + N(14) = 27 : Reverse pair

Q(17) + J(10) = 27 : Reverse pair

But for GSVE

G(7) + S(19) = 26 : Not a Reverse pair

Hence, GSVE is the odd one.
