Analogy - General Inteligence & Reasoning MCQ Questions and Answers

The question is an analogy, which means we need to find a relationship between the first pair of numbers (6 and 72) and apply the same relationship to the second number (8) to find the missing number.

Let's figure out the relationship between 6 and 72.
We can see that 72 is the result of multiplying 6 by 12 (6 x 12 = 72).

Alternatively, consider the operation 6 * (6 + 6) = 6 * 12 = 72
Or it could be 6² + 6 * x = 72, where x is 6.

Now, let's apply the same relationship to 8:
Following the same logic 8 * 12 = 96.

Alternatively, consider the operation 8 * (8 + 4) = 8 * 12 = 96
Or it could be 8² + 8 * x = 64 + 32 = 96, where x is 4.

Therefore, the missing number is 96.

So the answer is: Option B: 96.

216/4 = 54, and 216/3 = 72
72+54 = 126/2 = 63.

384/4 = 96, and 384/3 = 128.
128+96 = 224, 224/2 = 112.

Analogy questions test your ability to see relationships between things. They ask you to find a pair of words that have the same relationship as another pair.

This question is asking: "If air is to atmosphere, then what is water to?"

Think about it this way: Air is the main component of the atmosphere. What is the main component of something else?

Let's look at the options:
Option A: Island - Islands are made of land, not water.
Option B: Earth - Earth is made of land and water.
Option C: Ocean - Ocean is a large body of water, just like the atmosphere is a large body of air.
Option D: Drop - A drop is a small amount of water.
Option E: Dew - Dew is water condensed on a surface.

Therefore, the best answer is Option C: Ocean because it shows the same relationship as air and atmosphere.

The analogy "Mango : Fruit" indicates that a mango is a type of fruit. To maintain the same relationship, we need to identify what a potato is classified as. The correct relationship should be "Potato : Root," as a potato is a type of root vegetable.

Option B: Stem – This is incorrect because a potato is not a stem. Potatoes grow underground and are classified as tubers, which are part of the root system.

Option C: Flower – This is incorrect because a potato does not refer to a flower. Flowers are the reproductive parts of plants, whereas a potato is an edible part of the plant that grows underground.

Option D: Fruit – This is incorrect because a potato is not classified as a fruit. A fruit is typically the part of the plant that develops from the flower and contains seeds, while a potato is a storage organ that grows from the roots.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Root", as it correctly matches the relationship in the analogy.
