Question 1 of 5
Odometer is to mileage as compass is to:
A speed
B direction
C time
D distance
Why: An **odometer** is an instrument used to measure **mileage**. Similarly, a **compass** is an instrument used to determine **direction**. The relationship is **instrument : what it measures**. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent what a compass measures.[6]
Question 2 of 5
Marathon is to race as hibernation is to:
A bear
B dream
C winter
D sleep
Why: A **marathon** is a **long race**, and **hibernation** is a **long sleep**. The relationship is **specific type : general category** (long version of). Option D completes the analogy perfectly. Options A, B, and C are related to hibernation but do not maintain the 'long duration' relationship.[6]
Question 3 of 5
drip : gush :: ? : ?
A cry : laugh
B curl : roll
C stream : tributary
D dent : destroy
Why: **Drip** represents **minor liquid flow** while **gush** represents **major liquid flow**. Similarly, **dent** is **minor damage** and **destroy** is **major damage**. The relationship is **minor degree : extreme degree**. Option D perfectly matches this pattern of intensity/degree.[5]
Question 4 of 5
Fire is to burn as knife is to:
A sharp
B cut
C stab
D slice
Why: **Fire causes burning** through its natural action. Similarly, a **knife causes cutting** through its natural action. The relationship is **agent : effect it produces**. Option B 'cut' directly corresponds to the effect produced by a knife.[3]
Question 5 of 5
What will come in place of the question mark in the following series? 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?
A 42
B 40
C 45
D 50
Why: The pattern in this series involves consecutive differences that increase progressively. The differences between consecutive terms are: 6-2=4, 12-6=6, 20-12=8, 30-20=10. Each difference increases by 2. Following this pattern, the next difference should be 12, so 30+12=42. Therefore, the answer is 42, which is option A.
