Alpha-Numeric Analogy |
An analogy refers to the comparison of two things based on their similarities. In the context of competitive exams, analogy questions test a candidate’s ability to discern relationships between pairs of words, numbers, or alphabets and apply the same relationship to find the correct answer. Here’s a detailed look at different types of analogies and how to solve them.
In word analogy, pairs of words are given that are related to each other in a specific manner. The candidate’s task is to identify the relationship and select the word or pair of words from the options that have the same relationship.
Melt : Liquid :: Freeze : ?
Success : Joy :: Failure : ?
Horse : Mare :: Fox : ?
Eyes : Tongue : Ear :: ?
Pen : Pencil : Rubber :: ?
Dog : Puppy :: Cat : ?
Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher : ?
Day : Night :: Good : ?
Book : Read :: Food : ?
Knife : Cut :: Pen : ?
In alphabet analogy, two groups of letters are provided, and the candidate needs to identify the relationship between them. The same relationship should be applied to find the correct letter group from the options.
LS : OH :: ? : PC
BCD : EFG :: LMN : ?
ABC : DEF :: GHI : ?
PQR : STU :: WXY : ?
JUMP : KVNQ :: STEP : ?
BDF : CEG :: FHL : ?
ACE : BDF :: GIK : ?
KLM : NOP :: QRS : ?
XZ : YW :: UT : ?
ACEG : BDFH :: IKMO : ?
In this type, the relationship between numbers is based on arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. The candidate needs to identify the same relationship in another set of numbers.
4 : 8 :: 16 : ?
8 : 56 :: 9 : ?
5 : 25 :: 6 : ?
3 : 9 :: 7 : ?
12 : 24 :: 20 : ?
15 : 30 :: 25 : ?
7 : 49 :: 9 : ?
2 : 8 :: 3 : ?
6 : 36 :: 4 : ?
10 : 100 :: 8 : ?
In alpha-numeric analogy, the relationship involves both letters and numbers. The connection can be based on the position of the letters in the alphabet or the sum/product of these positions.
NEWS : 14, 5, 23, 19 :: PAPER : ?
FILM : 10 :: HOTEL : ?
CAT : 3, 1, 20 :: DOG : ?
BALL : 2, 1, 12, 12 :: GAME : ?
TREE : 20, 18, 5, 5 :: FLOWER : ?
WORD : 23, 15, 18, 4 :: SENTENCE : ?
TABLE : 20, 1, 2, 12, 5 :: CHAIR : ?
RIVER : 18, 9, 22, 5, 18 :: MOUNTAIN : ?
EARTH : 5, 1, 18, 20, 8 :: PLANET : ?
SUN : 19, 21, 14 :: MOON : ?
