Question 142

MP Police ASI 2023• Test

Find the odd one out from the given alternatives. 

  1. AOption (a)

    8 – 19

  2. BOption (b)

    10 – 33 

  3. COption (c)

    9 – 30

  4. DOption (d)

    7 – 24

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

8 – 19

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is,

First number × 3 + 3 = Second number

(1): 8 – 19 

8 × 3 + 3 = 27 ≠ Second number

(2): 10 – 33 

10 × 3 + 3 = 33 = Second number

(3): 9 – 30

9× 3 + 3 = 30 = Second number

(4): 7 – 24

7 × 3 + 3 = 24 = Second number

Hence, the odd one out is "8 - 19".

    20

  4. DOption (d)

    21

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

21

Why this answer is correct

Total persons in class = Alan's rank from the top + Alan's rank from the bottom - 1

= 20 + 58 - 1 = 78 - 1 = 77

If his rank became 57 from the top:

Alan's rank from the bottom = Total persons in class - Alan's rank from the top + 1

= 77 - 57 + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21

Hence, the correct answer is "21".
