Meaning of the analogy

The given analogy compares two sets of words by highlighting their relationship. The first word of the analogy is ‘Win’, which is related to the second word ‘Competition’. Similarly, the second set of words is ‘Invention’ and an appropriate word that completes the analogy.

Explanation

- Win and Competition: In this set of words, ‘Win’ is a result of ‘Competition’. In other words, to achieve a win, a competition must take place. Hence, the relationship between these two words is that one is a result of the other.
- Invention and Trial: In the same way, ‘Invention’ is a result of ‘Trial’. To invent something new, one must go through a series of trials, testing and experimenting until a new product or idea is born. Therefore, the relationship between these two words is that one leads to the other.

Option B is correct: Trial

- Option A, Product: Although an invention may result in a new product, it is not the appropriate word to complete the given analogy. The relationship between Invention and Product is not the same as the relationship between Win and Competition.
- Option C, Discovery: Although discoveries can lead to inventions, the relationship between these two words is not the same as the relationship between Win and Competition.
- Option D, Laboratory: Laboratories are places where experiments and trials take place, but it is not the appropriate word to complete the given analogy.

Conclusion

The given analogy compares two sets of words and highlights their relationship. The relationship between Win and Competition is that one is a result of the other. Similarly, the relationship between Invention and an appropriate word that completes the analogy is that one leads to the other. The correct answer is option B, Trial, as an invention is a result of multiple trials and experiments.

Finding the Missing Number in the Series

Given the series 3:729::5:?, we need to find the missing number. The given series follows a pattern, which we need to identify to solve the problem.

Identifying the Pattern

In the given series, the first number (3) is the cube of 3, i.e., 3^3 = 27. Similarly, the second number (729) is the cube of 9, i.e., 9^3 = 729. Therefore, the pattern followed by the series is that each number is the cube of the preceding number.

Using the Pattern to Find the Missing Number

Using the pattern, we can find the missing number in the series. We need to find the cube of the last number (5) to get the missing number.

5^3 = 125 x 5 = 625 x 2 = 1250 x 5 = 6250

Therefore, the missing number in the series is 6250.

Final Answer

Hence, the correct answer is option D, i.e., 15625.

Amar Iyer answered
The analogy between "Chocolate : Sweet" and "Encyclopedia : Book" can be explained as follows:

1. Understanding the analogy:
In order to understand the analogy, let's first analyze the relationship between "Chocolate" and "Sweet." Chocolate is a type of food that is known for its sweet taste. Therefore, "Sweet" can be considered a characteristic or quality of chocolate.

Similarly, when we consider the relationship between "Encyclopedia" and "Book," an encyclopedia is a type of book that contains information on various subjects arranged alphabetically. Therefore, "Book" can be considered a category or classification of an encyclopedia.

2. Identifying the relationship:
The relationship between "Chocolate" and "Sweet" is that of a characteristic and the object possessing that characteristic. Chocolate is characterized by its sweetness.

Similarly, the relationship between "Encyclopedia" and "Book" is that of a category and the object belonging to that category. An encyclopedia falls under the category of books.

3. Applying the analogy:
Based on the relationship identified, we can apply the analogy to determine the correct answer. Just as chocolate is characterized by its sweetness, an encyclopedia is characterized by its format, which is a book.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B) Book, as it represents the relationship between "Encyclopedia" and "Book" similar to the relationship between "Chocolate" and "Sweet."

4. Eliminating other options:
a) Dictionary: While a dictionary is also a type of book, it is not the most appropriate answer as it does not capture the specific relationship between "Encyclopedia" and "Book" in the given analogy.

c) Library: A library is a place where books are stored and accessed, but it does not represent the relationship between "Encyclopedia" and "Book" as closely as option B.

d) Composition: Composition refers to the act of creating or writing something, and it does not fit the analogy or relationship between "Encyclopedia" and "Book."

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the analogy between "Chocolate : Sweet" and "Encyclopedia : Book" can be explained by the relationship between a characteristic and its object or a category and its belonging. Therefore, the correct answer is option B) Book.

Prashanth Jain answered
The Analogy between Delicious and Melody:

The given analogy is between 'Delicious' and 'Melody'. The word 'Delicious' is related to 'Taste' whereas the word 'Melody' is related to an option among (a) Tongue, (b) Voice, (c) Tone, and (d) Speak.

Explanation:

Delicious refers to something that has a great taste and is pleasing to the senses. Similarly, Melody refers to a sequence of musical notes that are pleasing to the ears. The correct answer to this analogy is option (b) Voice. Here is a detailed explanation of why option (b) is the correct answer:

Melody and Voice:

A melody is a sequence of musical notes that are played in a specific order to create a beautiful tune. A melody can be played on any musical instrument, but it is most commonly associated with singing. A person's voice is used to produce the melody, and it is the quality of the voice that determines how pleasant or pleasing the melody will sound.

Tongue:

The tongue is an essential organ that helps us taste food, but it is not related to melody in any way. Therefore, option (a) is incorrect.

Tone:

Tone refers to the quality of sound that a musical instrument produces. While tone is an important aspect of music, it is not the same as melody. Therefore, option (c) is incorrect.

Speak:

Speaking involves using words to communicate with others, but it is not related to melody. Therefore, option (d) is incorrect.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the correct answer to the given analogy is option (b) Voice. Melody is related to the quality of a person's voice and how pleasing it is to the ears.

Dog :Kennel :: Rabbit : ?
  • a)
    Den
  • b)
    cactus
  • c)
    Forests
  • d)
    Burrow
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Maitri Chavan answered
Introduction:
In this question, we are given a relationship between "Dog" and "Kennel" and we need to find a similar relationship between "Rabbit" and one of the given options. To solve this, we need to understand the relationship between a dog and a kennel, and then find the option that has a similar relationship with a rabbit.

Understanding the Relationship:
A kennel is a small shelter or house specially designed for a dog. It provides a safe and comfortable space for a dog to live in. Dogs are often kept in kennels, especially when they are not able to roam freely or when their owners are away. A kennel serves as a home or a dwelling place for a dog.

Identifying the Relationship:
Now, let's analyze the given options and find the one that has a similar relationship with a rabbit.

a) Den: A den is a small, secluded place where animals like foxes or wolves live. While rabbits may also dig burrows or dens for protection, the primary purpose of a den is not the same as a kennel. Therefore, option "a" is not the correct answer.

b) Cactus: There is no direct relationship between a rabbit and a cactus. Rabbits do not live in or require cacti for their survival. So, option "b" is not the correct answer.

c) Forests: Forests are natural habitats for various animals, including rabbits. However, a rabbit does not have a specific dwelling place within a forest like a kennel for a dog. Thus, option "c" is not the correct answer.

d) Burrow: A burrow is a hole or tunnel that animals such as rabbits dig to create a safe and secure living space. Similar to a kennel for a dog, a burrow serves as a dwelling place for a rabbit. Therefore, option "d" is the correct answer.

e) None of these: Since we have found that option "d" (Burrow) is the correct answer, option "e" (None of these) is not the correct answer.

Conclusion:
The correct answer to the given question is option "d" (Burrow).

Paddy : Field :: Steel : ?
  • a)
    Factory
  • b)
    Mine
  • c)
    Iron
  • d)
    Ore
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Shraddha Bose answered
**Paddy: Field :: Steel: Factory**

To understand the relationship between the words "Paddy" and "Field" and apply it to the second pair of words, we need to analyze the characteristics and associations of each term.

**Paddy: Field**
- Paddy refers to the crop of rice that is still in its husk, typically grown in flooded fields.
- A field is an expanse of open land, typically used for agricultural purposes.

From this relationship, we can deduce that paddy is a specific type of crop that is grown in a field. Therefore, the relationship between "Paddy" and "Field" can be described as "Paddy is grown in a field."

Now, let's apply this understanding to the second pair of words:

**Steel: Factory**
- Steel is a strong alloy of iron and carbon, often used in construction and manufacturing.
- A factory is a building or set of buildings where goods are produced or assembled using machinery and labor.

From this information, we can deduce that steel is a material that is produced or manufactured in a factory. Therefore, the relationship between "Steel" and "Factory" can be described as "Steel is produced in a factory."

Based on the established relationship between "Paddy" and "Field" and the parallel relationship between "Steel" and "Factory," we can conclude that the correct answer is option A) Factory.

Option B) Mine: While steel is made from iron, it is not directly associated with mining. Iron ore is typically mined, but steel is produced through the process of refining iron ore in a factory.

Option C) Iron: Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, but the relationship between the two is not as direct as the relationship between paddy and field. Steel is not exclusively associated with iron, as it also requires the addition of carbon.

Option D) Ore: While steel is made from iron ore, which is the raw material for steel production, the relationship between the two is not as direct as the relationship between paddy and field. Steel is not solely defined by its ore, as it undergoes a refining process in a factory to become the final product.

In summary, the correct answer is option A) Factory because it accurately reflects the relationship between "Steel" and "Factory" as steel is produced in a factory, similar to how paddy is grown in a field.

Needle : Thread :: Bike :
  • a)
    Petrol
  • b)
    Oil
  • c)
    Brake
  • d)
    Key
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Kaavya Nair answered
**Needle : Thread :: Bike : Petrol**

To understand the analogy between "Needle : Thread" and "Bike : Petrol," let's break down the relationship between needle and thread first.

**Needle : Thread**

A needle and thread are objects that are commonly used together in sewing. The needle is the tool that is used to pass the thread through fabric, creating stitches. Without the thread, the needle would be ineffective in sewing.

The thread, on the other hand, is the material that is passed through the needle and used to create the stitches. It is the essential component that enables the needle to fulfill its purpose.

Therefore, in the analogy, the relationship between needle and thread is that of a tool and its essential component, where the tool (needle) requires the component (thread) to function effectively.

**Bike : Petrol**

Now, let's analyze the relationship between a bike and petrol to determine the correct answer.

A bike is a mode of transportation that typically operates with the help of an engine. Similarly, a car runs on petrol or gas, enabling it to move forward. Petrol serves as the fuel that powers the bike's engine, allowing it to function and propel forward.

Just as the needle requires thread to fulfill its purpose, the bike requires petrol to operate effectively. Without petrol, the bike would be unable to function and would be rendered useless as a means of transportation.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A) Petrol, as it is the essential component that allows the bike to fulfill its purpose, similar to how thread enables the needle to fulfill its purpose in sewing.

To summarize:
- Needle requires thread to sew effectively.
- Bike requires petrol to operate effectively.
- Therefore, the analogy between "Needle : Thread" and "Bike : Petrol" is that of a tool and its essential component.

Costa Rica : San Jose :: Croatia : Zagreb

Costa Rica and San Jose:
- San Jose is the capital city of Costa Rica.
- Costa Rica is a country located in Central America.
- San Jose is the political, economic, and cultural hub of Costa Rica.

Croatia and Zagreb:
- Zagreb is the capital city of Croatia.
- Croatia is a country located in Europe, specifically in the Balkans.
- Zagreb is the largest city in Croatia and serves as its political, economic, and cultural center.
Therefore, the correct analogy is Costa Rica : San Jose :: Croatia : Zagreb, as both pairs represent the capital city and country relationship.

The correct answer to the analogy "Sikkim : Gangtok :: Manipur : ?" is option B) Imphal.

To understand this analogy, let's break it down into its components:

Sikkim is a state in northeastern India, known for its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Gangtok, on the other hand, is the capital city of Sikkim. It is a popular tourist destination and serves as the administrative, cultural, and commercial center of the state.

Now, let's look at Manipur. Manipur is another state in northeastern India, situated near Sikkim. It is also known for its scenic landscapes, diverse culture, and historical significance. So, the analogy is asking for the capital city of Manipur, just like Gangtok is the capital city of Sikkim.

Hence, the correct answer is option B) Imphal. Imphal is the capital city of Manipur and plays a significant role in the state's administration, economy, and culture. It is a bustling city with historical sites, museums, and markets, attracting both tourists and locals alike.

In conclusion, the analogy "Sikkim : Gangtok :: Manipur : ?" is based on the relationship between a state and its capital city. Sikkim is the state, and Gangtok is its capital. Similarly, Manipur is the state, and Imphal is its capital.
