Analogy — “Pink : Red : White”. Choose the set where the first colour is a blend of the next two.

Difficulty: Easy

Brown : Black : Blue
Green : Blue : Yellow
Orange : Yellow : Black
Yellow : Red : Green
Violet : Purple : White

Correct Answer: Green : Blue : Yellow

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:
“Pink : Red : White” shows a colour formed by mixing the next two colours. We must select the option with the same mixture logic.

Given Data / Assumptions:

First colour = blend of second and third.
Use standard colour-mixing facts.

Concept / Approach:
Green is formed by mixing blue and yellow (additive/subtractive basic palettes). Hence “Green : Blue : Yellow” mirrors the stem.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Check colour theory: blue + yellow → green.Verify others do not produce the first colour as listed.

Verification / Alternative check:
Other sets either do not blend to the first, or list unrelated combinations.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Brown : Black : Blue — not a direct standard blend to brown.Orange : Yellow : Black — yellow + black does not yield orange.Yellow : Red : Green — red + green produce yellow only in certain light models but is nonstandard for these school-level analogies.Violet : Purple : White — imprecise/overlapping terms; not a basic mix rule.

Common Pitfalls:
Overthinking with non-school colour models; stick to basic mixing facts used in reasoning questions.
