The word “Analogy” simply means “finding the hidden relationship.” It is like a matching game.

In the exam, the question will give you a pair of words, numbers, or letters that share a secret connection. Your job is to look at that pair and find out what the connection is. Once you find the rule, you just apply the exact same rule to a new word to find the final answer.

For example: If the question says Dog : Bark, you know that a dog makes a barking sound. Then it will ask Cat : ? Since you found the rule (animal and its sound), the answer for the cat will be Meow. It is that simple

Simple Tips to Solve Analogy Questions Easily

If you want to solve these questions in just five seconds, follow these basic habits every day:

  • Learn Squares and Cubes: For number analogies, you must memorize the squares of numbers up to 30 and cubes up to 15. This will help your brain catch the math rule instantly.
  • Memorize Alphabet Numbers: For letter analogies, remember the exact position of A to Z. Knowing that A is 1 and Z is 26 helps you solve letter questions very fast.
  • Read Basic General Knowledge: As you saw in the questions above, the railway board mixes basic science units, country capitals, and animal homes in reasoning questions. Reading simple GK helps a lot here.
  • Find the Rule First: Do not look at the four options directly. First, look at the first pair, find the secret relationship in your mind, and then check which option matches your thought. This stops you from getting confused.
