<h2 id="content-id-5280-0">What is Analogy</h2>

Analogy is the chapter of Logical Reasoning which means similarity and correspondence. It shows the similarity between the two things. In this topic, two sets of elements are given, in which the first set of elements has some similarity or relationship with each other, that same similarity will also be followed by another set of elements.

Let us now understand the different types of analogies that we are going to cover in this blog.

Types of Analogy:

1. Letter Analogy

2. Number Analogy

3. Word Analogy (General Knowledge/ Meaning based)

4. Mixed Analogy

<h2 id="content-id-5280-1">Letter Analogy</h2>

In this type of analogy, the second set of letters is related to the first set of letters based on a certain similarity. Considering that relationship, you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.

Example: Choose the fourth element which is related to the third element in the same way as the second element is related to the first element.

FT : UG :: LV : ?

1.OE  2.OD  3.KE  4.BP

Solution: (1) OE

Logic: The letters in the second element are the opposite of the letters given in the first element.

FT : UG - Opposite letter of F = U; Opposite letter of T = G

Similarly, LV : ? - Opposite letter of L = O; Opposite letter of V = E

<h2 id="content-id-5280-2">Number Analogy</h2>

<img loading="lazy" alt="analogy number analogy" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/analogy_number_analogy.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px">

In this type of analogy, there are two sub-types:

<h3>Pair - Based</h3>

In this type, the second set of numbers is related to the first set of numbers based on a certain similarity. Considering that relationship you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.

Example: Choose the fourth element which is related to the third element in the same way as the second element is related to the first element.

38 : 121 :: 75 : ?

1.169  2.324  3.144  4.196

Solution: (3) 144

Logic: The second term is the square of the sum of digits of the number given in the first set.

38 : 121 ⇒ (3 + 8) = 11 ⇒ (11)² = 121

Similarly, 75 : ? ⇒ 7 + 5 = 12 ⇒ (12)² = 144

<h3>Similarity - Based</h3>

There is another sub-type in which a set of numbers is given in the question. You need to find another set that is based on a similar pattern from the given options.

Example: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set.

(33, 75, 18)

1.(24, 62, 19)  2.(31, 13, 04)  3.(27, 13, 13)  4.None of the above

Solution: (3) (27, 13, 13)

Logic: The third number in the set is the sum of all the digits i.e. first as well as the second number.

(33, 75, 18): First number = 33; Second number = 75

3 + 3 + 7 + 5 = 18

Similarly, (27, 13, 13): First number = 27; Second number = 13

2 + 7 + 1 + 3 = 13

<h2 id="content-id-5280-3">Word Analogy</h2>

In this type of analogy, the second term is related to the first term either based on General Knowledge (Country, Capital, Currency, Animals and their young ones, etc.) or based on meaning (synonyms, antonyms, etc.). Considering that relationship you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.

<h3>GK - Based</h3>

Example: Select the related word/letters/number from the given alternatives.

Acrophobia : Height :: Nyctophobia : ?

1.Fire  2.Air  3.Darkness  4.Light

Solution: (3) Darkness

Logic: Acrophobia is the fear of Height. Similarly, Nyctophobia is the fear of darkness.

<h3>Meaning - Based</h3>

Example: Select the related word/letters/number from the given alternatives.

Shortest : Tallest :: Coward : ?

1.Brave  2.Greatest  3.Minimum  4.None of the above

Solution: (1) Brave

Logic: Tallest is the opposite of the Shortest. Similarly, Brave is the opposite of Coward.

<h2 id="content-id-5280-4">Mixed Analogy</h2>

In this type of analogy, the second set may contain a pair of letters or mixed element (letter and number) that is related to the first set of letters based on a certain similarity. Considering that relationship you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.

<img loading="lazy" alt="analogy mixed analogy" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/analogy_mixed_analogy.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px">

[Source: The Dhronas]

Example: Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term.

BT : 05 :: VP : ?

1.6  2.4  3.3  4.11

Solution: (4) 11

Logic: 2nd term = absolute difference between the positional value of the opposite of the first letter and the positional value of the second letter.

BT : 05

Opposite of B = Y; Positional value of Y = 25; Positional value of T = 20

So, 25 - 20 = 05

Similarly, VP : ?

Opposite of V = E; Positional value of E = 05; Positional value of P = 16

So, 16 - 05 = 11

<h2>What is Analogy</h2>

Analogy is the chapter of Logical Reasoning which means similarity and correspondence. It shows the similarity between the two things. In this topic, two sets of elements are given, in which the first set of elements has some similarity or relationship with each other, that same similarity will also be followed by another set of elements.

Let us now understand the different types of analogies that we are going to cover in this blog.

Types of Analogy:

1. Letter Analogy

2. Number Analogy

3. Word Analogy (General Knowledge/ Meaning based)

4. Mixed Analogy

<h2>Letter&nbsp;Analogy</h2>

In this type of analogy, the second set of letters is related to the first set of letters based on a certain similarity. Considering that relationship, you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.

Example: Choose the fourth element which is related to the third element in the same way as the second element is related to the first element.

FT : UG :: LV : ?

1.OE&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2.OD&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3.KE&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;4.BP

Solution: (1) OE

Logic: The letters in the second element are the opposite of the letters given in the first element.

FT : UG - Opposite letter of F = U; Opposite letter of T = G

Similarly, LV : ? - Opposite letter of L = O; Opposite letter of V = E

<h2>Number&nbsp;Analogy</h2>

<img loading="lazy" alt="analogy number analogy" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/analogy_number_analogy.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px" />

[Source: The Dhronas]

In this type of analogy, there are two sub-types:

<h3>Pair - Based</h3>

In this type, the second set of numbers is related to the first set of numbers based on a certain similarity. Considering that relationship you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.

Example: Choose the fourth element which is related to the third element in the same way as the second element is related to the first element.

38 : 121 :: 75 : ?

1.169&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2.324&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3.144&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;4.196

Solution: (3) 144

Logic: The second term is the square of the sum of digits of the number given in the first set.

38 : 121 &rArr; (3 + 8) = 11 &rArr; (11)&sup2; = 121

Similarly, 75 : ? &rArr; 7 + 5 = 12 &rArr; (12)&sup2; = 144

<h3>Similarity - Based</h3>

There is another sub-type in which a set of numbers is given in the question. You need to find another set that is based on a similar pattern from the given options.

Example: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set.

(33, 75, 18)

1.(24, 62, 19)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2.(31, 13, 04)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3.(27, 13, 13)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;4.None of the above

Solution: (3) (27, 13, 13)

Logic: The third number in the set is the sum of all the digits i.e. first as well as the second number.

(33, 75, 18): First number = 33; Second number = 75

3 + 3 + 7 + 5 = 18

Similarly, (27, 13, 13): First number = 27; Second number = 13

2 + 7 + 1 + 3 = 13

<h2>Word&nbsp;Analogy</h2>

In this type of analogy, the second term is related to the first term either based on General Knowledge (Country, Capital, Currency, Animals and their young ones, etc.) or based on meaning (synonyms, antonyms, etc.). Considering that relationship you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.

<img loading="lazy" alt="analogy word analogy" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/analogy_word_analogy.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px" />

[Source: The Dhronas]

<h3>GK - Based</h3>

Example: Select the related word/letters/number from the given alternatives.

Acrophobia : Height :: Nyctophobia : ?

1.Fire&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2.Air&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3.Darkness&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;4.Light

Solution: (3) Darkness

Logic: Acrophobia is the fear of Height. Similarly, Nyctophobia is the fear of darkness.

<h3>Meaning - Based</h3>

Example: Select the related word/letters/number from the given alternatives.

Shortest : Tallest :: Coward : ?

1.Brave&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2.Greatest&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3.Minimum&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;4.None of the above

Solution: (1) Brave

Logic: Tallest is the opposite of the Shortest. Similarly, Brave is the opposite of Coward.

<h2>Mixed&nbsp;Analogy</h2>

In this type of analogy, the second set may contain a pair of letters or mixed element (letter and number) that is related to the first set of letters based on a certain similarity. Considering that relationship you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.

<img loading="lazy" alt="analogy mixed analogy" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/analogy_mixed_analogy.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px" />

[Source: The Dhronas]

Example: Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term.

BT : 05 :: VP : ?

1.6&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2.4&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3.3&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;4.11

Solution: (4) 11

Logic: 2nd term = absolute difference between the positional value of the opposite of the first letter and the positional value of the second letter.

BT : 05

Opposite of B = Y; Positional value of Y = 25; Positional value of T = 20

So, 25 - 20 = 05

Similarly, VP : ?

Opposite of V = E; Positional value of E = 05; Positional value of P = 16

So, 16 - 05 = 11

Now that you have learned&nbsp;the basic concepts of Reasoning Analogy, let us test the learning so far by practicing some questions. Given below Analogy Practice Questions followed by detailed solutions to each question. You should first try to solve all the questions yourself, and go through the solutions at the very end, to build a better understanding. This way, you will be able to assess your progress in a&nbsp;much better way.
