Verbal Reasoning: Analogy and Its Concept (By Dr. R.S. Aggarwal)

 What is Analogy in Verbal Reasoning?

 Types of Analogy:

  1. Word Analogy: Finding the relationship between two words.
    Example: Dog : Bark :: Cat : Meow

    • Relationship: Sound produced.

  2. Number Analogy: Identifying a numerical relationship.
    Example: 2 : 4 :: 3 : 6

    • Relationship: Multiplication by 2.

  3. Alphabet Analogy: Based on alphabetical sequences or positions.
    Example: A : Z :: B : Y

    • Relationship: Opposite positions in the alphabet.

  4. Object and Function: The relationship between an object and its function.
    Example: Knife : Cut :: Pen : Write

    • Function-based relationship.

  5. Person and Profession: The relationship between a person and their profession.
    Example: Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher : School

    • Place of work.

  6. Part and Whole: Identifying the part-whole relationship.
    Example: Finger : Hand :: Leaf : Tree

    • A part of a whole.

 Structure of Analogy Questions:

  1. Single Pair Analogy: One pair is given, and you have to find the related pair.
    Example: Sun : Day :: Moon : ?
    Answer: Night

  2. Double Pair Analogy: Two pairs are given, and the relationship must be maintained.
    Example: Bird : Fly :: Fish : ?
    Answer: Swim

 How to Approach Analogy Questions:

  1. Analyze the Relationship: Understand the connection between the given pair.
  2. Check All Options: If options are given, compare each carefully.
  3. Use Elimination: Eliminate irrelevant options that don’t fit the relationship.
  4. Think Logically: Avoid assumptions and focus on factual relationships.

Example Questions for Practice:

Q1: Car : Fuel :: Man : ?
Answer: Food (Fuel powers a car, food powers a man.)

Q2: Mother : Woman :: Father : ?
Answer: Man (A mother is a woman, and a father is a man.)

Q3: Pen : Write :: Knife : ?
Answer: Cut (Pen is used for writing, a knife is used for cutting.)

Q4: 2 : 8 :: 3 : ?

A Modern Approach To Verbal & Non Verbal Reasoning PDF

Here is a simplified explanation of Analogy from Verbal Reasoning by Dr. R.S. Aggarwal, including the concept, types, and examples — in English (and briefly in Hindi) for better understanding.

What is Analogy? – Concept

Analogy is a comparison between two pairs of words, numbers, or figures based on a common relationship.

In verbal reasoning, analogy questions test your ability to recognize the relationship between a given pair and apply the same relationship to find the missing word/pair.

Definition (from R.S. Aggarwal):

“Analogy means correspondence. In analogy questions, you are given two words that have a certain relationship, and a third word is given with four options — you have to find the word that has the same relationship with the third word as the first two have with each other.”

Types of Analogy (As per R.S. Aggarwal):

Type Example Explanation
1. Word Analogy Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher : ? A doctor works in a hospital → A teacher in school
2. Number Analogy 2 : 4 :: 3 : ? 2×2 = 4, 3×2 = 6 → Answer: 6
3. Alphabet Analogy ACE : BDF :: MOQ : ? +1 each letter → Answer: NPR
4. General Knowledge India : Delhi :: USA : ? Capital cities → Answer: Washington
5. Object-Tool Painter : Brush :: Writer : ? Uses of tools → Answer: Pen
6. Function-Based Knife : Cut :: Pen : ? Knife is used to cut → Pen is used to write
7. Cause-Effect Fire : Burn :: Rain : ? Cause → Effect → Answer: Wet

Tips to Solve Analogy Questions:

  1. Identify the relationship between the first pair clearly.

  2. Apply the same logic to the second pair.

  3. Eliminate illogical options.

  4. Don’t assume; use general knowledge where needed.

Common Relations Used in Analogies:

Example Questions (with Answers):

Q1. Wheel : Car :: Leg : ?
A) Hand B) Walk C) Body D) Human
Answer: Walk — A car moves with wheels, a person walks with legs.

Q2. Book : Reading :: Fork : ?
A) Drawing B) Writing C) Stirring D) Eating
Answer: Eating — A fork is used for eating just as a book is used for reading.

हिंदी में सरल समझ:

Analogy का मतलब होता है “समानता” या “संबंध की तुलना”
जैसे — Teacher : School :: Doctor : Hospital
यानी Teacher का संबंध School से वैसे ही है जैसे Doctor का Hospital से।
