NIMCET 2024 — Reasoning PYQ
NIMCET | Reasoning | 2024Select the pair of words, which are related in the same way as the
capitalized words are related to each other.
DATA : GRAPH
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
mother : Father
- B.
Plant : Leaf
- C.
Milk : Butter
(Correct Answer) - D.
Water : Glass
Milk : Butter
Explanation
Step 1: Analyze the relationship between the given pair (Data : Graph)
To solve analogy questions, we first establish a logical connection or defining sentence for the reference pair:
Data is the raw material, input, or source entity.
A Graph is a visual tool constructed or processed from that data.
Core Logic Formula: [First word] is processed, converted, or used to create [Second word].
Step 2: Evaluate each option using the same core logic formula
Option (A) mother : Father
Relationship: They are complementary pairs/genders. A mother is not processed or converted to create a father. (Incorrect)
Option (B) Plant : Leaf
Relationship: This follows a "Whole-to-Part" relationship, where a leaf is a physical component of a plant. (Incorrect)
Option (C) Milk : Butter
Relationship: Milk is the raw input material. Through a process of churning/converting, it is turned into Butter. This perfectly matches the core input-to-product processing logic of Data to Graph. (Correct)
Option (D) Water : Glass
Relationship: This is a "Content-to-Container" relationship, where water is held inside a glass. (Incorrect)
