Q. AERIE : EAGLE
  • a)
    capital : government
  • b)
    bridge : architect
  • c)
    unit : apartment
  • d)
    house : person
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Mehul Sharma answered
Understanding the Relationship: AERIE and EAGLE
To solve the analogy, we need to analyze the relationship between the words "AERIE" and "EAGLE."
- AERIE: This term refers to a nest built high in the mountains or cliffs, typically used by birds of prey such as eagles.
- EAGLE: This is the bird that inhabits the aerie.
Thus, the relationship can be understood as: a type of location or dwelling (aerie) where a specific creature (eagle) resides.
Finding the Matching Relationship
Now, let's examine the options provided to find a pair that matches this relationship:
a) capital : government
- A capital is a city where the government functions, but it is not a dwelling for the government in the same way an aerie is for an eagle.
b) bridge : architect
- A bridge is a structure designed by an architect; however, it does not represent a dwelling or home for the architect.
c) unit : apartment
- A unit can refer to a specific type of apartment, but this does not imply a direct relationship of a dwelling for a specific being.
d) house : person
- A house is a dwelling where a person lives. Just like an aerie is a specific location for an eagle, a house is a specific location for a person.
Conclusion
Therefore, the correct answer is option D (house : person) because it mirrors the relationship where a specific type of dwelling is associated with the being that inhabits it, just like an aerie is for an eagle.

Q. CONDUCTOR : ORCHESTRA
  • a)
    jockey : mount
  • b)
    thrasher : hay
  • c)
    driver : tractor
  • d)
    skipper : crew
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Debanshi Roy answered
Relationship Explanation:
A conductor leads and directs an orchestra, guiding the musicians on when to play, how to play, and ensuring that the music comes together harmoniously.

Comparison:
- Jockey : Mount - A jockey rides and guides a mount (horse) in a race, similar to how a conductor guides an orchestra.
- Thrasher : Hay - A thrasher does not have a direct relationship with hay, so this pair does not match the original relationship.
- Driver : Tractor - A driver operates a tractor, but this relationship is more about operating a machine rather than leading a group like a conductor does with an orchestra.
- Skipper : Crew - A skipper is a leader who guides and directs a crew on a ship, similar to how a conductor leads an orchestra.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D - Skipper : Crew, as both pairs involve a leader guiding and directing a group of individuals in a coordinated manner.

Directions: Each of the following questions consists of two words that have a certain relationship with each other, followed by four lettered pairs of words. Select the lettered pair which has the same relationship as the original pair of words.
Q. METAPHOR : SYMBOL
  • a)
    pentameter : poem
  • b)
    rhythm : melody
  • c)
    nuance : song
  • d)
    analogy : comparison
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Mehul Sharma answered
Understanding the Relationship: METAPHOR : SYMBOL
The words "metaphor" and "symbol" are closely related in the context of literary devices. A metaphor is a figure of speech that implies a comparison between two unlike things, while a symbol is something that represents or stands for something else, often conveying deeper meanings. Both serve to convey complex ideas in literature.
Analyzing the Options
Now, let's evaluate the lettered pairs to determine which one shares a similar relationship:
a) pentameter : poem
- Pentameter is a specific type of rhythm in poetry, but it is more of a structural element than a figurative device like metaphor or symbol.
b) rhythm : melody
- Rhythm refers to the pattern of sounds in music, while melody is a sequence of notes. They are related but do not share the same figurative relationship as metaphor and symbol.
c) nuance : song
- Nuance refers to subtle differences in meaning or expression, and a song is a complete piece of music. This pair does not match the relationship of figurative devices.
d) analogy : comparison
- An analogy is a comparison between two different things that highlights some form of similarity. This relationship mirrors that of metaphor and symbol, as both analogy and metaphor involve comparisons to convey deeper meanings.
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is option D: analogy : comparison. This pair of words maintains the same relationship as the original pair, where both involve figurative language and comparative understanding.

Directions: In each of the following questions, the first two words have definite relationship. Choose one word out of the given four alternatives which will show the same relationship with the third word as between the first two.
Q. Careful is to cautious as boastful is to
  • a)
    Arrogant
  • b)
    Humble
  • c)
    Joyful
  • d)
    Suspicious
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Saptarshi Das answered
Understanding the Relationship
The words "careful" and "cautious" have a synonym relationship. Both words describe someone who is attentive and avoids risks or mistakes.
Analyzing the Second Pair
Now, we need to analyze the word "boastful."
- "Boastful" refers to someone who talks too much about their achievements or abilities, often in a way that shows excessive pride.
Next, we must find a word that similarly relates to "boastful."
Identifying the Options
Let's evaluate the options provided:
- a) Arrogant: This word describes someone who has an exaggerated sense of their own importance or abilities, akin to being boastful.
- b) Humble: Humble means having a modest opinion of one's own importance, which is the opposite of boastful.
- c) Joyful: Joyful pertains to a feeling of great happiness and does not relate to boastfulness.
- d) Suspicious: Suspicious means having or showing a cautious distrust of someone or something, which does not connect to boastfulness.
Conclusion
The only word that maintains a similar relationship to "boastful" as "cautious" does to "careful" is "arrogant." Both "boastful" and "arrogant" describe an overestimation of oneself, making option (a) the correct answer.
This demonstrates the synonym relationship effectively, just like the first pair.

Directions: In each of the following questions, the first two words have definite relationship. Choose one word out of the given four alternatives which will show the same relationship with the third word as between the first two.
Q. Yard is to inch as quart is to
  • a)
    Gallon
  • b)
    Ounce
  • c)
    Milk
  • d)
    Liquid
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Saptarshi Das answered
Understanding the Relationship
In the given question, we need to analyze the relationship between the words "Yard" and "Inch."
Measurement Units
- A yard is a larger unit of measurement, while an inch is a smaller unit.
- Specifically, there are 36 inches in a yard.
Applying the Same Logic
Now, let's apply this relationship to the second pair with "Quart."
- A quart is a unit of volume measurement.
- The goal is to find a smaller unit of volume that relates to a quart in the same way inches relate to a yard.
Evaluating the Options
Let’s look at the options provided:
1. Gallon: This is a larger unit of measurement than a quart, so it does not fit the relationship.
2. Ounce: This is a smaller unit of volume measurement. There are 32 ounces in a quart, making this a suitable match.
3. Milk: This is a substance, not a unit of measurement.
4. Liquid: This is a category of matter and does not represent a unit of measurement.
Correct Answer
Given this analysis, the correct answer is Ounce, as it maintains the same relationship with quart as inch does with yard.
- Yard relates to Inch as Quart relates to Ounce.
This shows that the relationship is based on measuring units, where the first term is larger than the second.

Q. Ice : Coldness :: Earth : ?
  • a)
    Weight
  • b)
    Jungle
  • c)
    Gravity
  • d)
    Sea
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Palak Nair answered
Understanding the Relationship
The relationship between the words "Ice" and "Coldness" is that ice is a physical manifestation of the state of being cold. In simpler terms, ice is what you get when something is cold enough to freeze.
Analyzing the Second Pair
Now, let's look at the second part of the analogy: "Earth : ?". We need to find a term that represents a characteristic or state of Earth, just like "Coldness" represents a characteristic of "Ice."
Options Breakdown
- a) Weight: While Earth has weight, it's not a defining characteristic in the same way coldness defines ice.
- b) Jungle: This is a type of ecosystem found on Earth but doesn't effectively represent a fundamental characteristic of Earth.
- c) Gravity: This is a fundamental force that governs the behavior of objects on Earth. Gravity is a key characteristic of Earth, much like coldness is to ice.
- d) Sea: This refers to a large body of saltwater found on Earth, but it is not a defining characteristic of the planet itself.
Conclusion
The word that most closely relates to Earth in the same way that coldness relates to ice is "Gravity." Gravity is a crucial aspect of Earth’s identity and influences everything from how we stay grounded to how objects interact with the planet. Thus, the correct answer is option "C" - Gravity.
This relationship highlights the essence of what each term represents, making gravity a fundamental characteristic of Earth.

Directions: Each of the following questions consists of two words that have a certain relationship with each other, followed by four lettered pairs of words. Select the lettered pair which has the same relationship as the original pair of words.
Q. SOUND : CACOPHONY
  • a)
    taste : style
  • b)
    touch : massage
  • c)
    smell : stench
  • d)
    sight : panorama
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Kunal Ghosh answered
Relationship between SOUND : CACOPHONY

The relationship between the words "sound" and "cacophony" is that they are antonyms, which means they have opposite meanings. "Sound" refers to pleasant, harmonious noises or tones, while "cacophony" refers to harsh, discordant sounds.

Identifying the similar relationship

To find the lettered pair that has the same relationship as "sound : cacophony," we need to look for another pair of words where one word represents something pleasant or positive, and the other word represents something unpleasant or negative. Let's analyze each option:

a) taste : style - The relationship between taste and style is not one of opposites. Taste refers to the sense of flavor, while style is a manner of doing or presenting something. These words do not have opposite meanings, so option A is incorrect.

b) touch : massage - The relationship between touch and massage is not one of opposites either. Touch refers to the sense of tactile perception, while massage is a specific type of touch therapy. These words do not have opposite meanings, so option B is incorrect.

c) smell : stench - The relationship between smell and stench is similar to the relationship between sound and cacophony. Smell refers to the sense of olfaction, while stench refers to a strong, unpleasant odor. These words have opposite meanings, making option C the correct answer.

d) sight : panorama - The relationship between sight and panorama is not one of opposites. Sight refers to the sense of vision, while panorama refers to a wide, unobstructed view. These words do not have opposite meanings, so option D is incorrect.

Conclusion

Out of the given options, option C (smell : stench) has the same relationship as the original pair of words "sound : cacophony" because both pairs consist of words that are antonyms, representing something pleasant and something unpleasant, respectively.

Identify the one which is different from the others?
  • a)
    1003
  • b)
     2003
  • c)
    3003
  • d)
     3211
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Ishaan Chawla answered
Identifying the Different Number:
The number that is different from the others in the given options is:

Option D: 3211

Explanation:

Pattern Analysis:
- In options A, B, and C, all the numbers are in the format of 'abab', where the first two digits are the same as the last two digits.
- However, in option D, the number does not follow this pattern.

Number Breakdown:
- 1003: 10 and 03 are the same
- 2003: 20 and 03 are the same
- 3003: 30 and 03 are the same
- 3211: 32 and 11 are not the same
Therefore, based on the pattern analysis and the breakdown of numbers, option D (3211) is different from the rest of the options provided.

Directions: In each of the following questions, the first two words have definite relationship. Choose one word out of the given four alternatives which will show the same relationship with the third word as between the first two.
Q. Guide is to direct as reduce is to
  • a)
    Decrease
  • b)
    Maintain
  • c)
    Increase
  • d)
    Preserve
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Saptarshi Das answered
Understanding the Relationship
The relationship between the words "Guide" and "Direct" is that a guide provides direction or leads someone in a particular way. The action of guiding inherently involves directing someone towards a certain path or choice.
Analyzing the Second Pair
Now, we need to find a word that relates to "Reduce" in the same way that "Direct" relates to "Guide."
Options Breakdown
- Decrease: This means to make something smaller or less in amount, which is directly aligned with the action of reducing.
- Maintain: This implies keeping something the same, which does not correspond to reducing.
- Increase: This means to make something larger or more, which is the opposite of reducing.
- Preserve: This means to keep something in its original state, which also does not align with reducing.
Conclusion
Since "Reduce" means to decrease the amount or size of something, the word "Decrease" directly reflects the action of reducing. Therefore, the correct answer is Option A: Decrease, as it maintains the same relationship as seen between "Guide" and "Direct."

Three of the following four words are alike in a certain way and one is different. Pick the odd one out.
  • a)
    Hendecagon
  • b)
    Hexagon
  • c)
    Heptagon
  • d)
    Pentagon
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Shanaya Chakraborty answered
Understanding the Shapes
In this question, we need to identify which of the four words represents a geometric shape that is different from the others. Let’s break down each option:
1. Hendecagon
- A hendecagon is an 11-sided polygon.
2. Hexagon
- A hexagon is a 6-sided polygon.
3. Heptagon
- A heptagon is a 7-sided polygon.
4. Pentagon
- A pentagon is a 5-sided polygon.
Identifying the Odd One Out
Now, let’s analyze the similarities and differences:
- Hendecagon, Heptagon, and Pentagon all have more than 5 sides and are classified as polygons with a specific number of sides.
- Hexagon, on the other hand, is a common shape with 6 sides.
Conclusion
The odd one out is option B (Hexagon) because:
- It is the only shape that has a different number of sides compared to the others in the list.
- The pentagon has 5 sides, the heptagon has 7 sides, and the hendecagon has 11 sides, all of which indicate that they are higher polygon types compared to the hexagon.
Thus, the answer is Hexagon.

Q. Race : Fatigue :: Fast : ?
  • a)
    Food
  • b)
    Laziness
  • c)
    Hunger
  • d)
    Race
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Jaideep Banerjee answered
Understanding the Relationship: Race and Fatigue
In the pair "Race : Fatigue," we observe a specific relationship where the first word (Race) results in the second word (Fatigue). Participating in a race often leads to physical exertion, which consequently causes fatigue.
Analyzing the Second Pair: Fast and Hunger
Now, we need to identify a similar relationship for the word "Fast." To fast means to abstain from food, typically leading to a state of hunger.
Options Analysis
Let's evaluate the given options:
- a) Food: This does not relate to the act of fasting, as food is what one avoids while fasting.
- b) Laziness: Laziness is not a direct consequence of fasting and does not relate to the state one experiences while fasting.
- c) Hunger: This is indeed the state that results from fasting. Just like fatigue results from racing, hunger results from fasting.
- d) Race: This does not have any connection to fasting, as it is unrelated to the act itself.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'C' (Hunger) because it effectively mirrors the relationship found in the initial pair: just as a race leads to fatigue, fasting leads to hunger. Thus, the relationship is maintained in both pairs.

  • d)
    Restaurant
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Snehal Kaur answered
A gym is a place where people exercise. A restaurant is a place where people eat. Food (choice a) is not the answer because it is something people eat, not a place or location where they eat. The answer is not choice b or c because neither represents a place where people eat.

  • b)
    Student
  • c)
    Self-respect

    Fish
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Devika Nair answered
A group of lions is called a pride. A group of fish swim in a shoal. Teacher (choice a) and student (choice b) refer to another meaning of the word school. The answer is not (choice c) because self-respect has no obvious relationship to this particular meaning of school.

    Frank
  • b)
    Wicked
  • c)
    Truthful
  • d)
    Untruthful
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rishika Tiwari answered
Candid and indirect refer to opposite traits. Honest and untruthful refer to opposite traits. The answer is not choice (a) because frank means the same thing as candid. Wicked (choice b) is incorrect because even though it refers to a negative trait, it does not mean the opposite of honest. (Choice c) is incorrect because truthful and honest mean the same thing.

Directions: In each of the following questions, the first two words have definite relationship. Choose one word out of the given four alternatives which will show the same relationship with the third word as between the first two.
Q. Artist is to painting as senator is to
  • a)
    Attorney
  • b)
    Law
  • c)
    Politician
  • d)
    Constituents
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anagha Nambiar answered
An artist makes paintings; a senator makes laws. The answer is not choice (a) because an attorney does not make laws and a senator is not an attorney. Choice c is incorrect because a senator is not a politician. A constituent (choice d) is also incorrect because a senator serves his or her constituents.
