Reasoning: Analogy MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

Match each person with the usual action connected to the object. An author writes a book, so I matches 2. A farmer grows a crop, so II matches 3. A cobbler repairs shoes, so III matches 1. The complete matching is I-2, II-3, III-1. The other matchings shift these actions to the wrong worker, such as making a farmer repair a crop or an author grow a book, which breaks the person-action-object relation.

In the first pair, the relation is source to developed form. A seed can grow into a tree. We must apply the same relation to the second pair. An egg does not grow into a nest or a feather; those are connected with birds but are not the developed living form from the egg. A plant repeats the idea of seed and does not fit the given word. An egg can develop into a bird. Therefore, the correct completion is Bird.

Each pair links an instrument with what it shows or measures. A clock shows time, so I matches 2. A thermometer measures temperature, so II matches 3. An odometer measures distance travelled, so III matches 1. Putting these together gives I-2, II-3, III-1 as the complete code. The other codes either match only by sequence or interchange the measuring functions.

In AZ : BY, the first letter A moves one place forward to B, and the second letter Z moves one place backward to Y. Apply the same movement again to BY. B moves one place forward to C, and Y moves one place backward to X. Therefore the next pair is CX. The reason states exactly this forward-backward movement, so the assertion is true, the reason is true, and the reason explains why CX is obtained.

Compare ACE with GIK letter by letter. A becomes G, C becomes I and E becomes K; each letter moves 6 positions forward in the alphabet. Apply the same rule to BDF. B moves to H, D moves to J and F moves to L. Therefore, the required letter group is HJL. The other groups either repeat the earlier result or use a different shift.
