SSC CGL (Prelims) General: Series and Pattern Recognition questions with solutions

Q1. In each of the following questions, a group of three numbers/symbols is given in each option. Identify the group that does NOT follow the same pattern as the others.

1. C3: E5: G7
2. D4: F6: H8
3. E5: G7: I9
4. F6: H8: J11

Answer: F6: H8: J11

In the first three options, both letters and numbers increase by 2 each time. In the last option, the letters follow the pattern F, H, J, but the numbers should be 6, 8, 10; instead, the last number is 11. Hence it does not follow the pattern.
