    The key takeaways from the passage are that analogy is a comparison between two things to help explain or clarify an idea, and analogies can help make abstract ideas more concrete by relating them to familiar concepts. Different types of analogies discussed include number, letter, and word analogies.

    The different types of analogies discussed in the passage are number analogies, letter analogies, and word analogies.

    According to the passage, one importance of using analogies is that they can help make abstract ideas more concrete by drawing comparisons to things that readers or students are already familiar with.

    → Analogy is a comparison between one thing and another, typically for the purpose of
    explanation or clarification.
    • A thing which is comparable to something else in significant respects.
    • A process of arguing from similarity in known respects to similarity in other
    respects.
    • A process by which new words and inflections are created on the basis of
    regularities in the form of existing ones.
    • Analogy is a literary technique in which two unrelated objects are compared for
    their shared qualities.
    Ex: Photosynthesis does for plants what digesting food does for animals.
    • Importance of Analogy
    → Make abstract ideas mark concrete
    These are some people – like teachers, professors, and technical writers – who explain
    difficult ideas for a living. It is a tough job. One way to make it easier is to draw
    analogies to things your readers or students are already families with. For ex: a
    biology teacher might explain the immune system by saying, ‘what policeman do in a
    town, white blood cells do inside the body.
    Types of Analogy
    (i) Number Analogy
    (ii) Letter Analogy
    (iii) Word Analogy
    e.g.
    1. In the following question, select the related letter from the given alternatives.
    EB: YD :: AD: ?
    A. DP B. AH
    C. AP D. XR
    Ans: C
    Solution:
    E is 5th alphabet in English, 52=25th alphabet is Y
    B is 2nd alphabet in English, 22=4th alphabet is D
    Same way,
    A is 1st alphabet in English ,12=1st alphabet is A
    D is 4th alphabet in English ,42=16th alphabet is P
    So, correct answer is AP

    2. In the following question, select the related letters from the given alternatives.
    JHOF: MMXW:: KPLB : ?
    A. JKOW B. NUUS
    C. YEWN D. POSK
    Ans: B
    Solution:
    JHOF =>MMXW
    J => 2 alphabets skipped forward, M comes
    H => 4 alphabets skipped forward, M comes
    O => 8 alphabets skipped forward, X comes
    F => 16 alphabets skipped forward, W comes

    Same way,
    KPLB=>
    K => 2 alphabets skipped forward, N comes
    P => 4 alphabets skipped forward, U comes
    L => 8 alphabets skipped forward, U comes
    B => 16 alphabets skipped forward, S comes
    Thus, KPLB=>NUUS

    3. In the following question, select the related word from the given alternatives.
    Soap: cleaning :: chair : ?
    A. Fiber B. Wood
    C. Sitting D. Both A & B
    Ans: C
    Solution:
    Soap is used for cleaning something. Chair is used for getting seated. Hence, option C
    is the correct response.

    4. In the following question, select the related word from the given alternatives.
    Water :aquagaurd :: cloth : ?
    A. Washing Machine B. Detergent
    C. Pot D. Almirah
    Ans: A
    Solution:
    Water is cleaned by Aquaguard machine. In the same way cloth is cleaned in washing
    machine.

    5. In the following question, select the related word from the given alternatives.
    Lock: key :: TV : ?
    A. Picture B.TV Desk
    C. Remote Control D. Signal
    Ans: C
    Solution:
    To operate a lock, key is always necessary. Similarly, to operate TV, remote control is
    always necessary.
    Hence, option C is the correct response.

    Number Analogy
    Typical relationships between the numbers
    • One number is a multiple of other.
    • One number is the square root of the other.
    • One number is the cube or cube root of the other.
    • The two numbers can be consecutive, even, odd or prime numbers.
    • In letter analogy, the relationship is between 2 groups of letters on each side of
    the sign:
    • In word analogy, there is a certain relationship between the 2 given words on one
    side of ‘::’ and one word is given on the other side.

    It can be understand by following examples-


    1. In the following question, select the related number from the given alternatives.
    64 : 2 :: ? : 3
    A. 216 B. 200
    C. 168 D. 98
    Ans: A
    Solution:
    64, cube root of 64 is 4 =>half of 4 is 2 =>4/2=2
    216, cube root of 216 is 6=>half of 6 is 3=>6/2=3
    Hence, option A is the correct response.
    2. In the following question, select the related number from the given alternatives.
    59 : 45 :: 63 : ?
    A. 19 B. 28
    C. 56 D. 18
    Ans: D
    Solution:
    59 =>5×9=45
    63=>6×3=18

    247 : 42 :: 619 :?
    A. 54 B. 63
    C. 70 D. 48
    Ans: B
    Solution:
    247 => (2+4) ×7=42
    619 => (6+1) ×9=63
    Hence, option B is the correct response.
    4. In the following question, select the related number from the given alternatives.
    628 : 96 :: 374 : ?
    A. 16 B. 84
    C. 51 D. 28
    Ans: B
