SSC CGL - 17 Aug 2021 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q94

Three of the following four number pairs 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 56 : 136.

​​​​78 : 127 → 127 – 78 = 49 → square of 7

61 : 97 → 97 – 61 = 36 → square of 6

56 : 136 → 136 – 56 = 80 → not a square

25 : 89 → 89 – 25 = 64 → square of 8

Since all the numbers are perfect squares except 80. Hence, the correct answer is 56 : 136.
