All questions of Analogy for SSC CGL Exam

At sunrise morning begins, similarly at sunset night begins.

Second is the process of gradual disappearances of the first.

Solution:

To solve this question, we need to analyze the relationship between the words "Silence" and "Noise" and find the pair that exhibits a similar relationship.

1. Understanding the Relationship:
The word "Silence" is the opposite or absence of the word "Noise." Silence refers to the absence of any sound or noise, while noise refers to any unwanted or unpleasant sound.

2. Analyzing the Options:
Let's analyze each option and see if they exhibit a similar relationship.

a) Quiet : Peace
The words "Quiet" and "Peace" do not exhibit a similar relationship as "Silence" and "Noise." Quiet refers to a low volume or lack of sound, while peace refers to a state of tranquility or absence of conflict.

b) Baldness : Hair
The words "Baldness" and "Hair" do not exhibit a similar relationship as "Silence" and "Noise." Baldness refers to the absence of hair, while hair refers to the strands that grow on the head or body.

c) Talk : Whisper
The words "Talk" and "Whisper" do not exhibit a similar relationship as "Silence" and "Noise." Talk refers to speaking in a normal volume, while whisper refers to speaking in a soft, hushed tone.

d) Sing : Dance
The words "Sing" and "Dance" do not exhibit a similar relationship as "Silence" and "Noise." Singing refers to producing musical sounds with the voice, while dancing refers to moving rhythmically to music.

3. Conclusion:
After analyzing all the options, we can see that the pair "Baldness : Hair" does not exhibit a similar relationship as "Silence : Noise." Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - "Quiet : Peace." Although not a perfect match, "Quiet" and "Peace" both refer to a state of calmness or absence of disturbance, which is similar to the relationship between "Silence" and "Noise."

Final Answer:
The pair that best illustrates a similar relationship as "Silence : Noise" is "Quiet : Peace" (option 'A').

Explanation:

The given analogy is Poles : Magnet :: ? : Battery. We need to find the alternative which will replace the question mark.

Poles and Magnet are related to each other because poles are the ends of a magnet where the magnetic force is strongest.

Similarly, we need to find a word which is related to Battery.

Cells, Power, Terminals, and Energy are all related to Battery in some way. Let's see how:

Cells: Batteries consist of cells that convert chemical energy into electrical energy.

Power: Batteries are a source of power that provide electrical energy to devices.

Terminals: Batteries have positive and negative terminals that allow them to be connected to devices and provide electrical energy.

Energy: Batteries store potential energy that is converted into electrical energy.

Out of these options, Terminals is the most appropriate alternative to replace the question mark because poles and terminals are both the ends of an object and are used for connectivity. Thus, the correct answer is option 'C' - Terminals.

Understanding the Grouping
To determine which option does not belong to the group, let's analyze the given sets of letters:
- a) PSU
- b) HKN
- c) DGJ
- d) TWZ
Identifying Patterns
1. Sequential Letters:
- Check if the letters within each option follow a sequential pattern in the English alphabet.
- For example:
- HKN: H (8), K (11), N (14) - all letters are separated by an interval of 3.
- DGJ: D (4), G (7), J (10) - all letters are separated by an interval of 3.
- TWZ: T (20), W (23), Z (26) - all letters are separated by an interval of 3.
2. Examining PSU:
- PSU: P (16), S (19), U (21) - the intervals between these letters are not consistent (P to S = 3, S to U = 2).
Conclusion
- Based on the analysis, the letters in options b) HKN, c) DGJ, and d) TWZ exhibit a consistent pattern of being separated by an interval of 3, whereas a) PSU does not follow this rule.
Final Decision
- Therefore, the odd one out is a) PSU as it does not share the same sequential characteristic present in the other three options.

Understanding the Relationship: Dawn and Sunrise
The word pair "Dawn - Sunrise" represents a relationship where both terms are related to the beginning of the day. "Dawn" refers to the time when light begins to appear in the sky before the sun rises, while "Sunrise" is the moment when the sun actually comes above the horizon. Both words signify different stages of the same phenomenon.
Analyzing the Options
Let's analyze the provided options to find a similar relationship:

• Option A: Easy - Simple


• Both words are synonyms and represent a similar concept of being uncomplicated or not difficult.
• Option B: Touch - Toes


• These terms are related through body parts, but they do not share a sequential or developmental relationship.
• Option C: Old - New


• This pair represents antonyms, which is a different relationship than that of "Dawn" and "Sunrise."
• Option D: Joy - Sad


• These words are also antonyms, contrasting emotions rather than being part of the same process.

Conclusion: The Correct Pair
Given the analysis, Option A (Easy - Simple) is the most appropriate choice as it reflects a similar relationship of meaning, just as "Dawn" and "Sunrise" do concerning the beginning of the day.

Analogy Explanation:
Peel : Peal

Similarity:
- The relationship between "peel" and "peal" is that of a homophone, where two words have similar pronunciation but different meanings.

Applying the Relationship:

Rain : Reign
- The pair "rain" and "reign" also exhibit a homophonic relationship as they sound similar but have distinct meanings.
- "Rain" refers to water falling from the sky in the form of droplets, while "reign" refers to a period during which a sovereign rules.
- Both words have different spellings and meanings, just like "peel" and "peal" in the original pair.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - Rain : Reign.

As the working field of lawyer is Court, similarly the working field of chemist is laboratory.

As Numismatist collects coins similarly Philatelist collects stamps.

As Glove is worn in Hands similarly Socks are worn on feet.

Second one had one more side than the first.

As Train is guided by the track similarly Bullet is guided by the barrel.

Analysing the given question:

The symbol "::" means "is to" and the numbers before and after it have a certain relationship. We need to find out the number which will have a similar relationship with the second number given in the question.

Solution:

24 : 60 :: 120 : ?

Here, "24 is to 60" means that 24 is 40% of 60. Similarly, we need to find out the number which is 40% of 120.

- To find out 40% of 120, we can multiply 120 by 0.4 (or 40/100).
- 40% of 120 = 0.4 x 120 = 48.

Therefore, the number which will replace the question mark is 48 more than 120.

- 120 + 48 = 168.

But, 168 is not given in the options.

- We can also find out the answer by cross-multiplying the given ratios.

24 : 60 :: 120 : ?
(24/60) = (120/x) [cross-multiplying]
24x = 60 x 120
x = (60 x 120) / 24
x = 300

Therefore, the number which will replace the question mark is 300.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c) 300.
