Instructions -In the following question there are two words to the left of sign (::) which are connected in same way. The same relationship obtains between the third word and one of the four alter-natives under it. Find the correct alternative in each case.River : Dam : : Traffic :a)Signalb)Vehiclec)Motiond)laneCorrect answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Question

Answer

Dam controls the flow of water in a river. Similarly, signal controls the traffic of vehicles

Answer

Yes the correct answer is signals because dam dam saves the people by stopping the floods comming from the river and controls the flow of water and signals help the people from accidents and they give them correct signs for when they go

Answer

Signals

Answer

Dam is related to River so that signal is also related to traffic because Dam control the river and single control the traffic rules.

Answer

A

Answer

Understanding the Relationship
To solve the analogy, we first need to analyze the relationship between the words 'River' and 'Dam'.
- River: A natural flow of water.
- Dam: A barrier constructed to hold back water, creating a reservoir.
The relationship here is that a dam is a structure built to control or manage the flow of a river.
Applying the Relationship to Traffic
Next, we need to apply the same relationship to 'Traffic' and determine which of the options fits best.
- Traffic: Refers to the movement of vehicles on the road.
Now, we are looking for something that serves a similar function to traffic as a dam does to a river.
Evaluating the Options
Let's analyze the options:
- a) Signal: Traffic signals control the flow of vehicles, similar to how a dam controls the flow of water in a river.
- b) Vehicle: This refers to the object itself and doesn't relate to managing or controlling traffic.
- c) Motion: While related to traffic, it does not imply control or management.
- d) Lane: This refers to a designated area for vehicle movement but does not manage or control traffic.
Conclusion
The best answer is a) Signal because, like a dam regulates the flow of a river, traffic signals regulate and control the flow of vehicles in traffic. This analogy maintains the relationship of management and control present in the first pair of words.

Answer

Signals is correct answer
since dams helps us to control the over flow of water from water bodies in similar manner signal help us to control the traffic.
