Analogy.......[competitive. exam prep.... topic 11]

Analogy
lt is a similarity or comparability between like features of two things on which a comparison may be based. In these types of questions a series of numbers or alphabetical letters or combinations of both are given. The candidate is required to study the pattern and either to complete the given series with the suitable term or to find the wrong term in the series.
Types of Analogy Relationships:
Type I: Completing the Analogous Pair
In these types of questions, three words are given and two words are related to each other in some way. The candidate is required to find out the relationship between the third and fourth word on the basis of the relationship of the first two words.
Example: Plant: Tree:: Girl:?
(a) Sister
(b) Mother
(c) Women
(d) Wife
Solution: (c) Clearly first grows into the second.
Type II: Simple or Direct Analogy
Following example will explain the concept of Simple or Direct Analogy:
Example: Earth is related to Axis in the same way as wheel is related to …..?...
(a) Hub
(b) Scooter
(c) Tyre
(d) Road
Solution: (a) Here the first rotates about the second.
Type III: Selecting the Analogies Pair
Following example will explain the above concept:
Example: Sonnet: Poem
(a) Chapter:Book
(b) Lie:Falsehood
(c) Murder:Crime
(d) Ballad:Stanza
Solution: (c) Clearly Sonnet is a part of Poem, similarly murder is one of the type of Crime.
Type IV: Double Analogy
In the following example, two words indicated by I and II have been left out. The correct word to come in place of I is given as one of the four alternatives (1), (2), (3) and (4) against I and the correct word to come in place of II is given as one of the four alternatives (A), (B), (C) and (D) against II.  There is some relationship between the two words to the left of sign (::) and the same relationship obtains between the two words to the right of the sign (::).  The correct combination is given as one of the four alternatives (a), (b), (c) and (d). Find the correct combination.
Example: I: Horse:: Bray :II
I.    (1) Neigh (2) Hoof  (3) Ride     (4) Saddle
II.   (A) Relay (B) Pony (C) Wagon (D) Donkey
      (a) 1A      (b) 1D    (c) 2D        (d) 3C
Answer: (b) Clearly, first is the sound produced by II.
Type V: Selecting a similar word
In this type of questions, a group of three/four inter related words is given.  Candidate is required to select a word from the given alternatives that is similar to the given words and hence belongs to the same group.
Example: Mumbai: Kolkata: Mangalore
(a) Hyderabad
(b) Cochin
(c) Delhi
(d) Jaipur
Answer: (b) clearly, all are port cities.
Type VI: Multiple – word Analogy
In this type of questions, a group of three and four words is given and all of them are inter-related. The candidate is required to find out the relationship among the words given in the question and choose another group with the similar relationship from the given alternatives.
Type VII: Analogy based on Numbers
This section deals with the following types of questions:
Example1: 26:5:: 65:?
(a) 9
(b) 8
(c) 7
(d) 6
Example 2: 11:1210
(a) 6:216
(b) 7:1029
(c) 8:448
(d) 9:729
Example 3: Given set: (81, 77,69)
(a) (56, 52, 44)
(b) (64, 61, 53)
(c) (75,71,60)
(d) (92, 88, 79)
Solution: (a) Here 1st number – 4 = 2nd Number
2nd Number – 8 = 3rd Number.
Type VIII: Analogy based on Alphabet:
In these type of Questions a candidate is required to find out the relationship between two given groups of letters related to each other in some way and then choose either a letter group or pair consisting of similarly related letter groups.
Following example will explain the above concept:
Example: BUCKET: ACTVBDJLDFSU:: BONUS: ?
(a) CDPQOPVWTU
(b) SUNOR
(c) ACNPMOTVRT
(d) ACNPMOVWTU
Solution: (c) Here each letter of first group is replaces by two letters, where one letter comes before it and one comes after that particular letter in the second group.

NITI Ayog :- The Government has replaced Planning Commission with a new institution named NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India). A cabinet Resolution issued today gave details of the new institutions.  The institutional framework of government has developed and matured over the years.   This has allowed the development of domain expertise which allows us the chance to increase the specificity of functions given to institutions.  Specific to the planning process, there is a need to separate as well as energize the distinct ‘process’ of governance from the ‘strategy’ of governance. 1).

Coding is a system of signals. This is a method of transmitting information in the form of codes or signals without it being known by a third person. The person who transmits the code or signal, is called the sender and the person who receives it, is called the receiver. Transmitted codes or signals are decoded on the other side by the receiver—this is known as decoding. Most competitive exams have a dedicated section of Coding –Decoding in Reasoning or Mental Ability. Many of students and readers find difficulty to solve questions based on Coding – Decoding in Mental Aptitude. The Coding and Decoding Test is set up to judge the candidate’s ability. Coding and decoding tips are very useful to those who are preparing for the attending the bank exam IBPS, SBI, LIC AAO, UPSC, IAS, CAT, XAT, MAT, SSC, GATE, and other competitive exams. We have also published the Solved examples for the coding and decoding aptitude. Coding is a process of sending a message from master to slave that

Calendar ........[competitive. exam prep.... topic 29]

Image
 Most of the students are having difficulties in solving the Calendar problems. The number of days more than the complete number of weeks in a given period, are called odd days. For example : (1) In an ordinary year (of 365 days) there are 52 weeks and one odd day. (2) In a leap year (of 366 days) there are 52 weeks and two odd days. What is the Leap and Ordinary year ? Every year which is exactly divisible by 4 such as 1988, 1992, 1996 et. is called a leap year. Also every 4th century is a leap year. The other centuries, although divisible by 4, are not leap years. Thus, for a century to be a leap year, it should be exactly divisible by 400. For example : (1) 400, 800, 1200, etc are leap years since they are exactly divisible by 400. (2) 700, 600, 500 etc are not leap years since they are not exactly divisible by 400. How to find number of odd days :An ordinary year has 365 days. If we divide 365 by 7, we get, 52 as quotient and 1 as remainder. Thus, we may say tha
