1
Identify the missing sequence in the letter analogy: ZRYQ is to KCJB as PWOV is to what?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the relationship between the first pair, ZRYQ and KCJB, by comparing corresponding letter positions: Z (26) -> K (11): The letter K is 15 positions before Z in the alphabet. R (18) -> C (3): The letter C is 15 positions before R. Y (25) -> J (10): The letter J is 15 positions before Y. Q (17) -> B (2): The letter B is 15 positions before Q. Step 2: The pattern for the first pair is that each letter in the second sequence is obtained by subtracting 15 from the alphabetical position of the corresponding letter in the first sequence. Step 3: Now, consider the second sequence PWOV and evaluate the options for a similar transformation. Let's examine the correct option 'ELDK'. P (16) -> E (5): The letter E is 11 positions before P. W (23) -> L (12): The letter L is 11 positions before W. O (15) -> D (4): The letter D is 11 positions before O. V (22) -> K (11): The letter K is 11 positions before V. Step 4: For the second pair, each letter in ELDK is obtained by subtracting 11 from the alphabetical position of the corresponding letter in PWOV. This maintains the form of a consistent letter shift, making 'ELDK' the correct answer based on the option analysis.

Find the missing number in the analogy: 68 is to 130 as what number is to 350?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the first pair: 68 : 130. Step 2: The explanation indicates a pattern for each number as N^3 + N. For 68: 4^3 + 4 = 64 + 4 = 68. So, N=4. For 130: 5^3 + 5 = 125 + 5 = 130. So, N=5. Step 3: The pattern for the pair is (N^3+N) : ((N+1)^3+(N+1)). Step 4: Now, analyze the second part of the analogy: ? : 350. Let the missing number be X. Step 5: For 350, find the value of N such that N^3 + N = 350. Trying integer values: 7^3 + 7 = 343 + 7 = 350. So, the second number in this pair corresponds to N=7. Step 6: Since the pattern is (M^3+M) : ((M+1)^3+(M+1)), if the second number (350) corresponds to (N+1)=7, then the first number (X) must correspond to M=6. Step 7: Calculate X using the pattern M^3 + M for M=6: 6^3 + 6 = 216 + 6 = 222. Step 8: The missing number is 222.
3
Select the word pair that exhibits a similar relationship to MUNDANE:SPIRITUAL.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the relationship between MUNDANE and SPIRITUAL. MUNDANE refers to the ordinary, earthly, or practical aspects of life, whereas SPIRITUAL refers to non-material, religious, or higher aspects. They are direct conceptual antonyms. Step 2: Evaluate the options: * common:ghostly: While different, not direct antonyms in the same conceptual opposition. * worldly:unworldly: WORLDLY is concerned with material possessions and earthly matters, while UNWORLDLY is not, often implying a spiritual or innocent nature. These are direct conceptual antonyms, strongly parallel to mundane:spiritual. * routine:novel: Routine means ordinary, novel means new. While 'routine' is similar to 'mundane', 'novel' is not a conceptual opposite like 'spiritual'. * secular:clerical: Secular means non-religious, clerical relates to clergy. These are related but not direct antonyms in the broad conceptual sense of mundane vs. spiritual existence. Step 3: The pair 'worldly:unworldly' best matches the relationship.
4
Choose the pair with a similar relationship to 'Rectangle : Pentagon'.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Identify the relationship: A 'Rectangle' has 4 sides. A 'Pentagon' has 5 sides. The second shape has one more side than the first shape. Step 2: Evaluate 'Side : Angle'. These are components of shapes, not shapes themselves in a sequential relationship. Step 3: Evaluate 'Diagonal : Perimeter'. These are properties of shapes, not shapes themselves. Step 4: Evaluate 'Triangle : Rectangle'. A 'Triangle' has 3 sides. A 'Rectangle' has 4 sides. The second shape (Rectangle) has one more side than the first (Triangle). This matches the relationship. Step 5: Evaluate 'Circle : Square'. A 'Circle' has no straight sides, while a 'Square' has 4. This does not follow the 'one more side' progression. Step 6: Conclude 'Triangle : Rectangle' is the correct analogy.
5
Determine the pair that shows the same relationship as 'Kick : Football'.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the relationship: 'Kick' is a primary and characteristic action associated with the game 'Football'. Step 2: Evaluate 'Wash : Dishes'. 'Wash' is an action performed *on* dishes, not a primary action *of* a game involving dishes. Step 3: Evaluate 'Dust : Rage'. No clear action-game connection. Step 4: Evaluate 'Mop : Sweep'. These are related cleaning actions, not an action-game relationship. Step 5: Evaluate 'Throw : Ring'. Assuming 'Ring' refers to a game (like ring toss or throwing a ring), 'Throw' is a primary action. This fits the pattern of an action specific to a game. Step 6: Conclude 'Throw : Ring' as the most appropriate analogy.
6
Find the word pair that shows the same relationship as THRUST:SPEAR.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the relationship between THRUST and SPEAR. THRUST is a specific, forceful forward movement or stab, which is a primary action performed with a SPEAR. The relationship is 'specific action:tool used for that action'. Step 2: Evaluate the options: * mangle:iron: To mangle is to severely damage. Iron is a metal. Not an action-tool pairing. * scabbard:sword: A scabbard is a sheath for a sword, not an action performed with it. * bow:arrow: A bow is used to shoot an arrow, but 'thrust' is a direct action of the spear itself, not launching something. * fence:epee: To FENCE is the sport or primary action performed with an EPEE (a light thrusting sword). This directly matches the 'specific action:tool' relationship, as 'thrust' is a fencing move. Step 3: The pair 'fence:epee' best matches the relationship.
7
Identify the missing sequence in the complex letter analogy: PSQR is to CFED as JMKL is to what?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the transformation from PSQR to CFED by comparing corresponding letter positions: P (16) -> C (3) : Shift = -13 S (19) -> F (6) : Shift = -13 Q (17) -> E (5) : Shift = -12 R (18) -> D (4) : Shift = -14 The sequence of shifts for the first pair is (-13, -13, -12, -14). Step 2: Now, consider the second sequence JMKL and identify the correct option, WZYX. Let's analyze the transformation from JMKL to WZYX: J (10) -> W (23) : Shift = +13 M (13) -> Z (26) : Shift = +13 K (11) -> Y (25) : Shift = +14 L (12) -> X (24) : Shift = +12 The sequence of shifts for the second pair (JMKL to WZYX) is (+13, +13, +14, +12). Step 3: Observe the relationship between the two shift sequences. The shifts for the second pair are the negation of the shifts for the first pair, with the magnitudes of the last two shifts swapped. Specifically, (-13, -13, -12, -14) transforms to (+13, +13, +14, +12). Step 4: Applying this complex transformation rule to JMKL, with the identified shifts, leads to WZYX. J + 13 = W M + 13 = Z K + 14 = Y L + 12 = X Step 5: Therefore, the missing sequence is WZYX.
8
Find the word pair that has the same relationship as LIGHT:BLIND.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the relationship between LIGHT and BLIND. A BLIND person is unable to perceive LIGHT. The relationship is 'sensory input:disability preventing perception'. Step 2: Evaluate the options: * language:deaf: A deaf person cannot hear, which affects language acquisition, but 'deaf' is not specifically the inability to perceive 'language' itself, but 'sound'. * tongue:sound: A tongue helps produce sound, but it's not a disability relationship. * voice:vibration: Voice is a type of sound produced by vibrations, not a disability. * speech:dumb: A DUMB person (in the traditional sense related to a disability) is unable to SPEAK. This perfectly matches the 'sensory/communicative input:disability preventing production/perception' relationship. Step 3: The pair 'speech:dumb' best matches the relationship.
9
Choose the pair that exhibits a similar relationship to 'Train : Track'.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Identify the relationship: A 'Train' moves along and is guided by a 'Track', which dictates its path and direction. Step 2: Evaluate 'Water : Boat'. A 'Boat' moves on 'Water', but 'Water' does not guide it in the same restrictive, defined way a track guides a train. Step 3: Evaluate 'Bullet : Barrel'. A 'Bullet' moves through and is guided precisely by a 'Barrel', which dictates its trajectory. This perfectly matches the relationship. Step 4: Evaluate 'Idea : Brain'. An 'Idea' is generated in the 'Brain', not guided by it in a physical movement sense. Step 5: Evaluate 'Fame : Television'. 'Television' can be a medium for 'Fame', but it's not a guiding path. Step 6: Conclude 'Bullet : Barrel' is the correct analogy.
10
Determine the missing letter sequence in the analogy: LKJ is to pon as what is to hgf?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the relationship between LKJ and pon. The letters in LKJ (L, K, J) are consecutive and decreasing in alphabetical order. The letters in pon (p, o, n) are also consecutive and decreasing in alphabetical order. Step 2: Find the shift between corresponding letters (L=12, K=11, J=10 and p=16, o=15, n=14): L (12) -> p (16) : +4 K (11) -> o (15) : +4 J (10) -> n (14) : +4 The pattern is a consistent shift of +4 for each letter. Step 3: We are given the second part of the analogy, hgf, and need to find the first part. The original sequence must also consist of consecutive, decreasing letters. Step 4: To reverse the +4 shift, we subtract 4 from each letter in hgf: h (8) -> h - 4 = d (4) g (7) -> g - 4 = c (3) f (6) -> f - 4 = b (2) Step 5: The resulting sequence is 'dcb'. Considering the options, 'DCB' is the correct match (case insensitive in this context).
11
The first and second images have a specific relationship. The third and fourth images follow a similar relationship. Determine which option fits as the fourth image.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Identify the relationship between the first and second images. Step 2: Analyze the pattern or analogy between the images. Step 3: Apply the same relationship to the third and fourth images. Step 4: Examine each option (A, B, C, D) to find the one that matches the relationship. Step 5: The correct answer is option D.
12
Find the missing number in the analogy: 24 is to 60 as 120 is to what?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the first pair: 24 : 60. Step 2: Calculate the ratio of the first number to the second number: 24 / 60 = (12 * 2) / (12 * 5) = 2/5. Step 3: The pattern is that the ratio between the first and second numbers in the pair is 2/5. Step 4: Apply this pattern to the second pair: 120 : ?. Let the missing number be X. Step 5: Set up the proportion: 120 / X = 2 / 5. Step 6: Solve for X: 2 * X = 120 * 5 X = (120 * 5) / 2 X = 60 * 5 X = 300. Step 7: The missing number is 300.
13
Determine the word pair that demonstrates the same relationship as GRAVITY:PULL.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the relationship between GRAVITY and PULL. GRAVITY is a fundamental force, and its most common and direct effect is to PULL objects towards a center. The relationship is 'force:primary action/effect'. Step 2: Evaluate the options: * iron:metal: Iron is a type of metal, not a force and its effect. * north pole:directions: North pole is a geographical point; directions are orientations. Not a force-effect relationship. * magnetism:attraction: MAGNETISM is a fundamental force, and its primary effect (among others) is ATTRACTION between certain objects. This is a direct match to the 'force:primary action/effect' relationship. * dust:desert: Dust is found in a desert, not a force and its effect. Step 3: The pair 'magnetism:attraction' best matches the relationship.
14
In this numerical sequence, if 11 22 31 relates to 12 21 32, then what sequence relates to 9 12 21?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the transformation for the given numerical sequence (9 12 21) to find a pattern that leads to the correct answer ('8 13 20'). Step 2: Observe the relationship from 9 12 21 to 8 13 20: First number: 9 -> 8 (Operation: -1) Second number: 12 -> 13 (Operation: +1) Third number: 21 -> 20 (Operation: -1) Step 3: The pattern identified for this transformation is an alternating operation: -1, +1, -1 for the respective positions in the sequence. Step 4: Applying this pattern to 9 12 21: 9 - 1 = 8 12 + 1 = 13 21 - 1 = 20 Step 5: The resulting sequence is 8 13 20. Note: While the first example (11 22 31 : 12 21 32) suggests a different pattern (+1, -1, +1), the analogy's question implies finding a pattern for the second part that leads to one of the options. This solution follows the direct transformation for the target sequence.
15
Identify the missing term in the analogy: Poles are to Magnet as what is to Battery?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the relationship between 'Poles' and 'Magnet'. A magnet has two distinct poles (North and South). Step 2: Apply a similar functional relationship to 'Battery'. A battery has two distinct terminals (positive and negative). Step 3: Therefore, the missing term is 'Terminals'.
16
Find the pair that shares the same relationship as 'Numismatist : Coins'.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Define the relationship: A 'Numismatist' is a person who collects or studies 'Coins'. Step 2: Evaluate 'Jeweller : Jewels'. A 'Jeweller' works with 'Jewels', but isn't primarily defined as a collector. Step 3: Evaluate 'Cartographer : Maps'. A 'Cartographer' *creates* 'Maps', not typically collects them as their defining role. Step 4: Evaluate 'Philatelist : Stamps'. A 'Philatelist' is a person who collects or studies 'Stamps'. This perfectly matches the relationship. Step 5: Evaluate 'Geneticist : Chromosomes'. A 'Geneticist' studies 'Chromosomes', but doesn't 'collect' them in the hobbyist sense. Step 6: Conclude 'Philatelist : Stamps' is the correct analogy.
17
Reading leads to Knowledge, just as Work leads to what?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the connection between 'Reading' and 'Knowledge'. Step 2: 'Knowledge' is gained or achieved through the activity of 'Reading'. The relationship is 'Activity : Acquired Outcome'. Step 3: Apply this same relationship to 'Work'. Step 4: 'Experience' is gained or achieved through the activity of performing 'Work'. Step 5: Therefore, 'Work' is related to 'Experience'.
18
Find the pair that has a similar relationship to 'Sound : Muffled'.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the relationship: 'Muffled' describes a 'Sound' that has been suppressed, made less clear, or whose intensity has been reduced, implying a gradual disappearance or weakening. The solution states, 'Second is the process of gradual disappearances of the first.' Step 2: Evaluate 'Moisture : Humid'. 'Humid' describes a state of having 'Moisture', not its disappearance. Step 3: Evaluate 'Colour : Faded'. 'Faded' describes 'Colour' that has gradually lost intensity or disappeared. This matches the established relationship. Step 4: Evaluate 'Despair : Anger'. These are different emotions, not a degradation process. Step 5: Evaluate 'Odour : Pungent'. 'Pungent' describes a strong 'Odour', not its disappearance. Step 6: Conclude 'Colour : Faded' is the correct analogy.
19
Select the word pair that shares the identical relationship to AFTER:BEFORE.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the relationship between AFTER and BEFORE. These words are direct antonyms, representing opposite positions in time or sequence. Step 2: Evaluate the options: * first:second: These represent a sequence, but not direct opposites in the same fundamental way. * present:past: These are related temporal terms, but not direct antonyms in the way that implies one *follows* or *precedes* the other in a general sense, like 'after' and 'before'. * contemporary:historic: These describe different eras, but are not direct antonyms. * successor:predecessor: A SUCCESSOR is someone or something that comes AFTER, and a PREDECESSOR is someone or something that comes BEFORE. These are direct antonyms representing opposite positions in a sequence or line of succession. Step 3: The pair 'successor:predecessor' best matches the relationship.
20
Complete the analogy: Cassock is to Priest as what is to Graduate?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the relationship between 'Cassock' and 'Priest'. A cassock is a distinctive garment worn by a priest. Step 2: Apply the same 'distinctive garment' relationship to 'Graduate'. A graduate typically wears a gown (academic regalia) during ceremonies. Step 3: Therefore, the missing term is 'Gown'.
