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.
