ANALOGY & CLASSIFICATION

Analogy

Analogy means ‘correspondence’(x:y::a:b). In the questions based on analogy, a particular

relationship is given and another similar relationship has to be identified from the alternatives
provided. Analogy tools are therefore meant to test one’s ability to reason -how far you are able to
compare and comprehend the relationship that exists between two objects, things or figures.
Verbal analogy measures the ability to understand the relationship between two given words or
group of letters, presented in abbreviated form. See the following example.
Moon : Satellite :: Earth : Planet
This abbreviated form conveys the idea that moon is related to satellite in the same way as
the earth is related to planet.
Look for the Kinds of Relationship
There are many possibilities in establishing a relationship. Here are some useful points on the
basic general knowledge required for the test.

Classification
Classification refers to categorization, the process in which ideas and objects are recognized,
differentiated, and understood.
There are three types of Classifications basically asked in the examination.
i) Numeric Based
ii) Alphabet Based
iii) Mixed Type (Alphabet-Numeric)
iv) General Intelligence
v) Non-Verbal Based

i) Numeric Type
All questions are based on numeric term. In this case, basic questions are given about number (prime,
even or odd number, composite number), square of the number or a cube of the number,
multiplication or division. Four of the same will be based on the above pattern but one of them will
not belong to that and the same will be the answer. For e.g.:

2. (b) All are divisible by 3, except 32
3. (e) All are divisible by 7, except 51
4. (c) All are the cubes, except 75

ii) Alphabet Based

In this case, all questions are based on alphabetic term. This will be classified in terms of differences
in the alphabetic form.
For e.g.:
