SSC Selection Post 2025 PYQ — Question 86

SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 25th July 2025 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q86

Which number does not belong in the set?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

2744 = 14³

1728 = 12³

4096 = not 16³, but 16³ (= 2¹²)

313 = neither a perfect cube nor a perfect power

Here, 2744 and 1728 are perfect cubes.

4096 is also a perfect power, while 313 does not occur as a perfect square, perfect cube, or common perfect power.

Correct answer: 313
