What is Analogy?

An analogy is a word used in terms of comparing two things or finding a relation between two things.

  • The word Analogy is a Noun which literally means a similar feature, condition, state etc. shared by two things that are compared. Questions on Verbal Analogy judge your ability to understand the diverse relationship between various elements, things, phenomena, acts, terms, etc., in their proper context. Such questions are aimed at testing the candidate’s overall knowledge, power of reasoning and the ability to think conclusively and logically. Example of Analogy
    Example of Analogy
  • A candidate can develop and improve his ability to judge conclusively through sufficient practice and awareness. 
  • The questions are also a test of general knowledge of the student.

Types of Analogy

  • Numerical Analogy (Odd One Out) – A set of options may be given based on a certain pattern, and one of them may be unlikely to follow the pattern and candidates need to choose the odd one out.
  • Numerical Analogy (Choose a similar pair) – An analogy may be given in the question and candidates may have to find a similar analogy, based on the same pattern from the given options

Example 1: From the given options, find the pair which is similar to the given pair: 8:4
(a) 27:9
(b) 216:32
(c) 72:24
(d) 45:5
(e) 37:13

The correct answer is option (a) 
Solution:
The pattern followed is “Cube of a number: square of the same number”
So, (2×2×2) : (2×2) = 8:4
Similarly, (3×3×3) : (3×3) = 27:9

  • Alphabetical/Word Analogy (Odd One Out) – Options for different word analogy may be given, in which one may not be following the set pattern, candidates need to find that odd one out from the given options

Example 2: From the given options, choose the odd one out.
(a) Bangladesh: Taka
(b) Brazil: Real
(c) Cyprus: Dollar
(d) Iran: Rial
(e) Japan: Yen

The correct answer is option (c) 
Solution: Cyprus: Dollar; All the other options given are correct in terms of country and their currency. The currency of Cyprus is Euro

  • Alphabetical/Word Analogy (Choose a similar pair) – An analogy may be given based on a set pattern and candidates may have to find the word analogy pair from the given options, which follows the exact same pattern.

  • If a candidate is unable to analyse the pattern followed, he/she must refer to the options given. It shall simply analysing the pattern.
  • For numerical questions, squares, cubes, multiplication, addition, etc. based patterns may be followed. So ensure that you recheck these pattern as well.
  • It is easy to score marks in questions based on analogy as they are direct and not very complicated.
  • Having knowledge of basic static GK shall also be important for these questions.
