All questions of Analogies for UGC NET Exam

Directions: In each of the following questions, there is a certain relationship between two given numbers on one side of :: and one number is given on another side of :: while another number is to be found from the given alternatives, having the same relationship with this number as the numbers of the given pair bear. Choose the best alternative.
Q. 8 : 39 :: 72 : ?
  • a)
    64
  • b)
    312
  • c)
    351
  • d)
    300
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Academia Elite answered
The antecedent; 8 is first getting multiplied by 5 and then it is getting subtracted by 1 as 8 is the first multiple of 8. (8 = 8 × 1)
⇒ 8 × 5 – 1 = 39
Similarly,
We’ll first multiply 72 by 5 and then subtract 9 from it as 72 is the 9th multiple of 8. (72 = 8 × 9)
⇒ 72 × 5 – 9 = 351.
Hence, option C is correct.

Understanding the Relationship
In the sequence given, the relationship between the two terms on the left side of the analogy (RED : WED) needs to be analyzed to find the missing term for C.A.T.
Analyzing the First Pair
- The first term is "RED."
- The second term is "WED."
Looking closely, we notice the following:
- The first letter 'R' is replaced by 'W' (R to W).
- The last letter 'D' remains unchanged.
- The middle letter 'E' is also unchanged.
This indicates that the transformation from "RED" to "WED" involves changing the first letter while keeping the other letters the same.
Applying the Same Logic to C.A.T
Now, we apply the same transformation to "C.A.T":
- The first letter 'C' should be replaced following the same pattern.
- The last letter 'T' remains unchanged.
- The middle letter 'A' stays the same.
Finding the Replacement for C
Changing the first letter 'C' to 'H' gives us "H.A.T."
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is:
- C.A.T : H.A.T
The answer choice that corresponds to this transformation is option 'C' – HA.T.

Direction: In each of the following question, there is a certain relationship between two given words on one side of :: and one word is given on another side :: while another word is to be found from the given alternatives, having the same relation with this word as the words of the given pair bear. Choose the correct alternative.
Q. Insert : Extract : : Mighty : ?
  • a)
    Thin
  • b)
    Strong
  • c)
    Frail
  • d)
    Feeble
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Relationship
In the analogy presented, "Insert" and "Extract" are opposites. To insert something means to put it in, while to extract means to take it out. This establishes a clear relationship of antonyms.
Analyzing the Given Words
Now, we need to find a word that has a similar opposite relationship with "Mighty."
- "Mighty" means powerful or strong.
- We are looking for a word that represents an opposite quality.
Evaluating the Options
Let's assess the options provided:
- a) Thin: This word does not relate to "Mighty"; it describes a physical state but is not an antonym.
- b) Strong: This is a synonym of "Mighty" and does not reflect an opposite relationship.
- c) Frail: This word suggests weakness but is not as strong an antonym as we need.
- d) Feeble: This word directly conveys a lack of strength or power, making it a strong antonym for "Mighty."
Conclusion
Among the options, "Feeble" (option d) is the best choice as it embodies an opposite meaning to "Mighty," just as "Extract" does to "Insert." Hence, the correct answer is option 'D'.

Q. MIRROR : 90 : : TERROR : ?
  • a)
    90
  • b)
    93
  • c)
    94
  • d)
    91
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Jahnvi Banerjee answered

Understanding the Relationship:
Mirror is related to 90 in the sense that when you look at the number 90 in the mirror, it appears as 09. This is a reflection relationship.

Applying the Relationship:
Similarly, when you look at the word "TERROR" in the mirror, it would appear as "RORRET".

Finding the Answer:
Among the given options, the word that reads the same forwards and backwards like a mirror image of itself is "93". So, the correct answer is option B) 93.

Directions: In each of the following questions, there is some relationship between the two terms to the left of : : and the same relationship holds between the two terms to its right.

KPUF : PUFP : : MRWB. : ?
  • a)
    RWB.M
  • b)
    B.MRB.
  • c)
    RWB.R
  • d)
    RWB.P
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Singhania answered
Explanation:

Pattern:
- In the given analogy KPUF : PUFP, the letters are rearranged in a clockwise direction.
- K becomes P, P becomes U, U becomes F, and F becomes K.

Applying the Pattern:
- Similarly, we need to rearrange the letters in MRWB in a clockwise direction.
- M becomes R, R becomes W, W becomes B, and B becomes M.

Answer:
- Therefore, the missing term in the analogy MRWB : RWB.R is R.

Q.6 : 29 :: 24 : ?
  • a)
    109
  • b)
    129
  • c)
    119
  • d)
    99
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Divit Mehra answered
Understanding the Relationship
To solve the analogy Q.6 : 29 :: 24 : ?, we first need to establish the relationship between the numbers in the first pair (Q.6 and 29).
Step 1: Analyze the First Pair
- Q.6 is represented as 6.
- The number 29 can be derived from 6 by the following calculation:
- (6 * 6) - 7 = 36 - 7 = 29
This shows that the first number (6) is multiplied by itself and then reduced by 7 to yield the second number (29).
Step 2: Apply the Same Logic to the Second Pair
Now, we will apply the same relationship to the second pair, where we have 24 and need to find the unknown number (let's call it X).
- Using the derived formula:
- (24 * 24) - 7 = 576 - 7 = 569
However, this calculation seems incorrect as it doesn't match any of the answer choices. Thus, we need to revisit our observations.
Correct Method to Establish the Relationship
Upon reviewing, we can find a more straightforward pattern:
- For the first pair Q.6 and 29:
- Q.6 can be seen as 6, and we add 23 to 6 to obtain 29.
Now, applying this to the second pair:
- For the second pair 24 and X:
- If we add 23 to 24, we get:
- 24 + 23 = 47
This still doesn't fit. Let’s reassess:
Correct Calculation for 24
Instead, we can check:
- If we add the digits of 24 (2 + 4 = 6) and derive accordingly.
- So, let's transform this similarly by multiplying:
- (24 * 5) - 1 = 119
Therefore, the answer to the question is:
Final Answer
- The correct option is 119 (Option C).
