SSC CGL Undated PYQs

Question 1

Four letter-clusters have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is
different. Select the letter-cluster that is different.

Accepted Answer

Assign numerical positions to each letter (A=1, B=2, etc.). For options 1, 2, and 4, the sum of the numerical positions of the first two letters equals the sum of the numerical positions of the last two letters (e.g., I+D = W+G). Option 3 (FJQL) does not follow this pattern (F+J = 6+10=16, Q+L = 17+12=29).

Question 2

Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in
the following series.
5, 13, 22, 34, 51, 75, 108, 152, ?

Accepted Answer

Calculate the differences between consecutive terms: 8, 9, 12, 17, 24, 33, 44. Then, find the differences of these differences: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. This shows a pattern of increasing odd numbers. The next difference in the second layer should be 13, making the next difference in the first layer 44 + 13 = 57. Therefore, the next number in the series is 152 + 57 = 209.
