Verbal Reasoning Questions - NUMBER ANALOGY Types of Number Analogies

NUMBER ANALOGY - TYPES OF ANALOGIES
Analogy means corresponding. In this chapter, we come across 3 types of Analogie
s namely word, letter, and number. In this type of questions which were based on
analogy, a particular relationship is given and another similar relationship ha
s to be identified from the given alternatives. At least 1 or 2 questions are as
ked from Number Analogy in most of the competitive examinations and some placeme
nt papers like TCS Placement papers and Infosys Placement papers and TechMahindr
a placement papers.
Number Analogy is the one of the important topics in Verbal Reasoning and Aptitu
de Questions. We will discuss Word analogy (or Verbal Analogy) and Letter Analog
y of the Verbal Reasoning in next chapters.
Here we are discussing the various types of number analogies which were asked in
previous placement papers and SBI PO and SBI clerks examination .And also there
models are helpful to you to get good marks in IBPS PO and clerks examinations
and all other competitive examinations like SSC, CSAT entrance examinations.
