ANALOGY

TYPE 1 : CHOOSING ONE ELEMENT OF A SIMILARLY RELATED PAIR

Analogy consists of two sets, Problem set 3.

and Answer set. Problem set involves four figures
marked A, B, C and D. Answer set involves five
figures marked 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Compare the
figures A and B and find out the relationship be-
tween A and B. Establish a similar relationship
between figures C and D by choosing a suitable A B C D
figure for (D) from the answer set. Carefully study
the following examples:-
1.

A B C D
1 2 3 4 5
Figure B has been obtained from figure A
by rotating it 900 CW and adding one line.
Likewise C should be rotated 900 CW and
1 2 3 4 5 one line should be added. Hence the an-
swer is (1).
Figure B has been obtained from figure A
by rotating 900 ACW and reversing the
arrowhead. Likewise C should be rotated 4.
900 ACW and the arrowhead should be
reversed. So the answer is (3).
2.

A B C D

A B C D

1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5

Figure B has been obtained from figure A by The number of circles in A has been in-
adding one circle. Similarly one circle should creased by 2 to form B and all are made
be added in figure C to obtain figure D. So dark. If the same change takes place in C,
the answer is (2). the answer is (4).
