SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

33 - 64

The question asks to identify the odd pair among the given options. Let's analyze each pair:

  • 36 - 48: The difference is 48 - 36 = 12
  • 56 - 44: The difference is 56 - 44 = 12
  • 78 - 66: The difference is 78 - 66 = 12
  • 33 - 64: The difference is 64 - 33 = 31

Observe that in all pairs except (33-64), the difference between the two numbers is consistently 12. The pair (33 - 64) has a difference of 31, making it the odd one out. This pattern-based approach is a standard method for solving these types of odd-one-out questions. The key is to look for a common mathematical relationship between the numbers in the options and identify the outlier that does not follow that relationship. Understanding number patterns and differences is crucial for solving such problems efficiently. The logic primarily relies on detecting numerical sequences and their deviations. This kind of question assesses your ability to identify patterns and anomalies within a given set of data. Effective problem-solving in these scenarios relies on systematic analysis and the recognition of consistent relationships. By systematically comparing each pair, we identify the inconsistent pair which deviates from the established pattern.
