Common Types of Analogy Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Analogy questions can be based on words, objects, numbers, or a mix of concepts. The most common types that appear in the RBI Grade B exam are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Word Analogy<\/strong>: Relationship between two words.
    For example: Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher : School<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Numerical Analogy<\/strong>: Relationship between numbers based on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, squares, cubes, etc.
    For example: 2 : 8 :: 3 : ?<\/em> (Here, 2\u00b3 = 8, so 3\u00b3 = 27)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Letter Analogy<\/strong>: Relationship between letters based on alphabetical positions or patterns.
    Example: A : C :: E : ?<\/em> (A + 2 = C, E + 2 = G)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Classification Analogy<\/strong>: Grouping based on category or type.
    For example: Dog : Mammal :: Eagle : Bird<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Cause and Effect Analogy<\/strong>: One term causes the other.
    For example: Rain : Flood :: Earthquake : Destruction<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How to Solve Analogy Questions Quickly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The first 5 to 7 seconds are most important when one solve analogy questions. This is when you should lock down the type and relationship. If you skip this step, you may end up trying multiple relationships at random, which wastes time. Another trick is to speak the relationship out loud in your head. For example, \u201cAeroplane travels in Air\u201d because turning it into a sentence makes the link much clearer. Also, try not to spend more than 20 seconds on any one analogy question unless it\u2019s your last question and you have time left. These small time boundaries help keep you from overthinking and getting stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The process to solve analogy questions is almost the same, no matter the type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can follow the step-by-step instructions given below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Read both terms in the first pair carefully<\/strong>: Understand the connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Identify the relationship<\/strong>: Is it based on function, category, numbers, letters, or cause-effect?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Think of the missing term<\/strong>: Do this before looking at the options to avoid bias.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Match your idea with the options given<\/strong>: Select the one that fits the same relationship.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. If unsure, use trial and error<\/strong>: Test each option with the given pair and see which matches.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
