Analogy — Choose the best category parallel: Geeta : Quran

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Orange : Mango

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
“Geeta : Quran” (Bhagavad Gita and Quran) are both revered religious scriptures belonging to different traditions. The relation is items of the same category. We need an option where both members are peer items within a common, recognizable class.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Both Geeta and Quran are holy books.
  • Look for a parallel pair of co-category items (not place–action, quality–entity, or institution–function).


Concept / Approach:
Reject functional or hierarchical relations; prefer “X and Y are both members of category C.”


Step-by-Step Solution:
(a) Orange : Mango → both are fruits (same category).(b) Temple : Worship → place vs action (function), not peer items.(c) Good : Man → adjective vs noun; not a peer category.(d) Army : Defence → institution vs function/role; not peer items.


Verification / Alternative check:
“Scripture–scripture” mirrors “fruit–fruit” as category peers.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They present function or grammar mismatches rather than co-category items.


Common Pitfalls:
Expecting a religion-specific pair (e.g., “Bible : Quran”); analogies test relation type, not necessarily identical domains.


Final Answer:
Orange : Mango
