Learning Objective
Find the relationship in the first pair (A : B) and apply the very same relationship to complete C : ?
🎯 Learning Objective
Find the relationship in the first pair (A : B) and apply the very same relationship to complete C : ?
💡 Concept
- Analogy format: A : B :: C : ? — B relates to A in some way; the answer must relate to C the same way
- Word analogy: worker–tool, tool–function, animal–young, part–whole, cause–effect
- Letter analogy: shifts (+1, +2), reversals, or opposite letters
- Number analogy: square (n²), cube (n³), n²+1, product, or simple ± patterns
- Golden step: state the relationship as one clear sentence, then apply it to the third term
🧮 Key Formulas
A : B :: C : ? — same relationship both sides
>
Number links: n², n³, n²+1, n×(n+1)
>
State the relationship as one sentence, then apply
✏️ Easy Example
Q. Pen : Write :: Knife : ?
- Relationship: a pen is used to write
- A knife is used to cut
Answer: Cut
🇮🇳 Real-Life Example
A cricket quiz asking 'Sachin : Batting :: Kumble : ?' expects 'Bowling' — you match the same player-to-skill relationship, which is pure analogy.
📝 Exam-Level Example
Q. ACE : BDF :: GIK : ?
- A→B, C→D, E→F: each letter moves +1
- Apply +1 to GIK: G→H, I→J, K→L
Answer: HJL
📝 Exam-Level Example
Q. 5 : 26 :: 7 : ?
- 5 → 26 because 5² + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26
- So 7 → 7² + 1 = 49 + 1 = 50
Answer: 50
📝 Exam-Level Example
Q. Cobra : Snake :: Whale : ?
- Relationship: a cobra is a type of snake (specific : its class)
- A whale is a type of mammal
Answer: Mammal
🪄 Memory Trick
Write the relationship as a full sentence with a blank: 'A ___ B'. If the same sentence fits 'C ___ answer' perfectly, the answer is right.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- ❌ Matching A with C instead of finding the A–B relationship
- ❌ Choosing a loosely related word when a more exact match exists
- ❌ Missing that the number link is a square/cube rather than simple addition
🏆 Exam Tips
- ✅ Test squares, cubes and n²±1 whenever numbers jump quickly
- ✅ For words, name the category of relationship (tool, part-whole, cause-effect) first
📌 Summary
- A : B :: C : ? means identical relationship on both sides
- State the link as one sentence, then apply to C
- Number links: n², n³, n²+1, n×(n+1)
- Letter links: shift, reverse or opposite
