Why Analogies Matter in Competitive 
Exams
1
Assessment Tool
Analogy questions serve as effective 
assessment tools for logical reasoning, 
problem-solving abilities, and cognitive 
skills in competitive exams.
2
Pattern Recognition
These questions demand identification of 
patterns and relationships between 
different concepts, promoting analytical 
thinking.
3
Reasoning Skills
Analogies gauge both verbal and non-verbal 
reasoning capabilities, making them integral 
to competitive exam preparations.
4
Professional Application
Mastering analogies not only enhances 
exam performance but also develops 
essential skills applicable in various 
professional settings.

Understanding Analogies
Analogies compare 
relationships between 
different concepts. In 
competitive exams, they test 
your ability to identify precise 
connections between word 
pairs and recognize similar 
patterns elsewhere.
Typically presented as two 
related words followed by a 
third word with multiple 
options, your task is to select 
the option that creates the 
same relationship with the 
third word as exists between 
the first pair.
Success requires defining the 
exact relationship in the 
original pair, then finding the 
option that best mirrors this 
pattern. This demands 
precision and careful analysis 
of relationship patterns.

Types of Analogies
Letter/Word-Based
Letter/Word-Based 
Analogies
These analogies feature 
pairs of letters or words 
with specific logical 
similarities. You must 
identify the relationship in 
the first pair and apply it to 
find the missing element in 
the second pair.
Common Patterns
Letter/word analogies 
often involve patterns 
based on letter positions, 
opposite letters, synonyms, 
and antonyms. The key is 
recognizing the consistent 
logic between pairs.
Analytical Approach
Successfully solving these requires careful analysis of the 
given pair, identifying the pattern, and then methodically 
applying the same pattern to find the missing element.

Letter-Based Analogy Examples
Position Relationship
In the example D : F :: R : ?, 
there's a difference of two 
positions in the alphabet 
between D and F. Applying this 
same pattern to R, we find that T 
is two positions ahead, making 
the complete analogy D : F :: R : 
T.
Alphabetical Sequence
Many letter analogies involve 
sequential patterns within the 
alphabet. Identifying whether 
letters move forward or 
backward, and by how many 
positions, is crucial to solving 
these problems.
Similar Relationships
Beyond simple position 
differences, letter analogies may 
involve mirror positions in the 
alphabet, vowel-consonant 
relationships, or patterns based 
on the visual shapes of letters.
