    4. (46, 54)
    Show answer

    Answer: (D) (46, 54)

    Explanation: Use the complementary amount, 100−46=54. Every other offered pair totals 99 or 101.

14. A correct chain has instrument → quantity → SI unit. For the reference Voltmeter : Potential difference : Volt, assess I. Ammeter : Electric current : Ampere; II. Anemometer : Wind speed : Metre per second; III. Hygrometer : Humidity : Kelvin. Which chains preserve all three roles?

    1. II and III only
    2. I and III only
    3. I and II only
    4. III only
    Show answer

    Answer: (C) I and II only

    Explanation: I and II correctly connect an instrument, its quantity and that quantity’s SI unit. III fails because kelvin measures temperature, not humidity.

15. Consider I. Pigeon : Coo; II. Elephant : Trumpet; III. Rooster : Coop. Which entries are analogous to Wolf : Howl, rather than animal : home?

    1. III only
    2. I and III
    3. I and II
    4. II and III
    Show answer

    Answer: (C) I and II

    Explanation: Coo and trumpet are characteristic animal sounds, matching wolf → howl. Coop names a shelter, so III is a different relation.

16. A whole-number product rule connects 3 with 60, 5 with 210 and 7 with 504. Infer the shared rule and find the partner of 11; do not split digits.

    1. 1320

    Explanation: Use n(n+1)(n+2). For 11, 11×12×13=132×13=1716.

17. On a part-to-whole board, three entries follow the reference Petal : Flower. Which entry needs its direction reversed to belong?

    1. Link : Chain
    2. Zipper : Zipper tooth
    3. Rung : Ladder
    4. Lens : Camera
    Show answer

    Answer: (B) Zipper : Zipper tooth

    Explanation: A zipper tooth is part of a zipper, so Zipper : Zipper tooth runs whole → part. The other entries already run part → whole.

18. A code ignores direction and uses the absolute gap between alphabet positions. CF : 3 :: HK : 3 :: BW : X. What is X?

    1. 19
    2. 25
    3. 46
    4. 21
    Show answer

    Answer: (D) 21

    Explanation: B=2 and W=23, so the absolute gap is 23−2=21.

19. Both missing words must be antonyms of their partners: Audacious : X; Impetuous : Y. Which combined choice satisfies both links?

    1. Cautious; Impulsive
    2. Cautious; Deliberate
    3. Timid; Hasty
    4. Reckless; Deliberate
    Show answer

    Answer: (B) Cautious; Deliberate

    Explanation: Cautious opposes audacious risk-taking, and deliberate opposes impetuous action without thought. Every other choice fails at least one link.

20. A two-step rule squares a two-digit input and adds its reversal: 12 : 165 and 23 : 561. Apply the rule to 34.

    1. 1156
    2. 1199
    3. 1849
    4. 1189
    Show answer

    Answer: (B) 1199

    Explanation: Square first, then add the reversed input: 34²+43=1156+43=1199.

21. The relation Ohm : Electrical resistance must be retained when choosing a second unit–quantity pair. Which entry confuses a measuring instrument with a unit and therefore fails?

    1. Coulomb : Electric charge
    2. Farad : Capacitance
    3. Ammeter : Electric current
    4. Tesla : Magnetic flux density
    Show answer

    Answer: (C) Ammeter : Electric current

    Explanation: An ammeter is an instrument; ampere is the unit of current. Tesla, coulomb and farad are units paired with the correct quantities.

22. A pair means number → count of all positive divisors, including 1 and itself: (18, 6), (30, 8). Which pair has the same interpretation?

    1. (28, 8)
    2. (36, 9)
    3. (49, 4)
    4. (24, 6)
    Show answer

    Answer: (B) (36, 9)

    Explanation: Since 36=2²×3², its divisor count is (2+1)(2+1)=9. The actual counts for 24, 28 and 49 are 8, 6 and 3.

23. Digits determine both changes in CH24 → IN8 and FK35 → NS15. Shift each letter forward by the digit sum and replace the number by the digit product. What is the output for MP46?

    1. WZ24
    2. QT24
    3. WZ10
    4. WZ46
    Show answer

    Answer: (A) WZ24

    Explanation: The digit sum is 4+6=10, so M→W and P→Z. The digit product is 4×6=24, giving WZ24.

24. Keep the end letters fixed and swap only the middle two, as in BRIM : BIRM. Which group corresponds to CLAP?

    1. LCPA
    2. CAPL
    3. CALP
    4. PLAC
    Show answer

    Answer: (C) CALP

    Explanation: In CLAP, interchange L and A while keeping C and P fixed. The result is CALP.

25. An ordered pair maps to one value: (24, 16) : 5 and (35, 21) : 4. Infer the common sum-and-difference rule and find the value for (42, 30).

    1. 72
    2. 12
    3. 7
    4. 6
    Show answer

    Answer: (D) 6

    Explanation: Divide the sum by the difference: (42+30)/(42−30)=72/12=6.

Analogy MCQ – Part 4 is factual rather than analytical: you either recall it in seconds or you lose the mark to somebody who did. That makes it one of the cheapest sections to convert - a handful of short sittings usually settles the whole cluster.

Expect one-line recall questions - definitions, stand-for expansions, identifiers and the ordering of things. Practise the wording as well as the concept: these papers test terminology, and the set above uses the same four-option shape they do.

Past papers reuse clusters like this almost verbatim across years and posts. Run the same set until every distractor is familiar - previous-year style questions stop being recall and start being free marks.
