The document discusses verbal reasoning analogies. It defines analogy as a correspondence between two things that are related in some manner or pattern. To solve analogy problems, one must identify the relationship between elements in the given pair and apply that same relationship to elements in the answer options. The document provides examples of number analogies, where the relationship is between numerical values or properties, and alphabet analogies, where the relationship involves the position of letters in the alphabet. It also gives tips for solving different analogy question types through memorizing letter positions and identifying numerical patterns.

1. VERBAL REASONING
ANALOGYANALOGY

2. BASIC MEANING OF ANALOGY
• IT MEANS THAT 2 THINGS ARE
RELATED IN SOME MANNER OR
PATTERNPATTERN
• TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS WE NEED
TO IDENTIFY THAT RELATION OR
PATTERN AND APPLY ON THE GIVEN
CONDITION

4. • Analogy Definition
• Let us first try to define analogy: the word 'Analogy' means
'correspondence’.
• In analogy questions, a specific
relationship is given
• & another similar relationship has
to be identified from the given
options.
.

5. • Types of Analogies
•Alphabet analogy
• Numbers analogy.• Numbers analogy.

6. Number Analogy
• two types of questions:
• I. basis of the relation between the numbers
pair given in the question.
• II. Choose a number that is similar to a group
of numbers on the basis of certain similar
properties that they possess

7. • Example: Find a pair that is similar to the
given pair of numbers:- 180:90
• (a) 64 : 37
• (b) 2 : 1
• (c) 23 : 10• (c) 23 : 10
• (d) 137 : 112
• Sol.: Clearly, the relationship here is 2x :x.
• This same relationship exists in option
(b).

8. • Alphabet Analogy:
• In this type of analogy, two groups of letters
related to each other in same way, are given.
• The candidate is required to identify the
relationship & choose a group of letters
which is related in the same way to a 3rdwhich is related in the same way to a 3rd
group given in the question.
• These questions become easier to solve if you
memorize the alphabetic positions of the
letters in the alphabet. (eg: A=1, M=13, etc.)

9. • Example: BCDE: PQRS :: WXYZ : ?
• (a) EFGH
• (b) KLMN
• (c) QJSP
• (d) TSUV
• Sol. Each letter of the 1st group is moved 14• Sol. Each letter of the 1st group is moved 14
steps forward to obtain the corresponding
letter of the 2nd group. A similar relationship
will exist between the 3rd and 4th groups.
• Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

10. ANALOGY SOLVED EXAMPLES
• Q.1. Which number is like the given set of numbers?
Given set: (5, 19, 37)

• (b) 14
• (c) 46• (c) 46
• (d) 45
• Answer: Option (a)
Solution: We can see that all the numbers in the given
set are prime numbers. 7 is also a prime number .
Hence, the answer is (a).

11. • Q.2. Which set of numbers is like the set given
below?
(60, 30, 15)

• (c) (20, 10, 5)
• (d) (42, 21, 10)
• Answer: Option (c)• Answer: Option (c)
Solution: Clearly, in the given set, 1st number is
twice the 2nd and the 2nd number is twice the
3rd number.
• (40, 20, 10).
Hence, the answer is (c).

12. • Q.3. 28: 4:: 343 : ?

• (a) SEUG
• (b) VEUS
• (c) UGSA
• (d) UESG
• Answer: Option (d)• Answer: Option (d)
• The 1st & 3rd letters of the 1st group are each moved four
steps backward to obtain the corresponding letters of the 2nd
group.
• The 2nd and 4th letters of the 1st group are each moved 4
steps forward

14. RJPL : NNLP : : YAWC : ?

15. LOGIC TO SOLVE LETTER PROBLEMS
• WRITE DOWN THE LETTERS OF GROUP 1 AND
GROUP 2
• NOW WRITE THE ALPHABETICAL ORDER
NUMBERS OF BOTH GROUPSNUMBERS OF BOTH GROUPS
• TRY TO IDENTIFY THE RELATION BETWEEN THE
NUMBERS OF THE GROUPS
• TRY TO FIND ANY OTHER RELATION LIKE
SHIFTING OF POSITIONS , REVERSING THE
ORDER ETC:
