SSC Stenographer 2022 PYQ — Question 168

SSC Stenographer - 18 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q168

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: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. BEGI.

The logic used here is:

1st letter + 3 = 2nd letter

2nd letter + 2 = 3rd letter

3rd letter + 1 = 4th letter

Option 1: PSUV

P + 3 = S

S + 2 = U

U + 1 = V

This follows the logic.

Option 2: MPRS

M + 3 = P

P + 2 = R

R + 1 = S

This follows the logic.

Option 3: BEGI

B + 3 = F

F + 2 = H

H + 1 = I

This does not follow the logic.

Hence, option 3 is the odd one out.
