NIMCET 2021 — Reasoning PYQ
NIMCET | Reasoning | 2021Choose the number pair or group that is different from other?
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
15:46
- B.
12:37
- C.
9:28
- D.
8:33
(Correct Answer)
8:33
Explanation
In options A, B, and C, the second number is obtained by multiplying the first number by 3 and then adding 1.
The general pattern followed is:
Second Number=(First Number×3)+1
Let's verify each option:
Option A:
15×3+1=45+1=46
(Follows the pattern)
Option B:
12×3+1=36+1=37
(Follows the pattern)
Option C:
9×3+1=27+1=28
(Follows the pattern)
Option D:
8×3+1=24+1=25=33
(Instead, it does 8×4+1=33, which breaks the logic followed by the others).
Therefore, 8:33 is the odd pair out.
