Types of Analogies
In reasoning, generally we come
across two types of analogies: Alphabet analogy and Numbers analogy.
Number Analogy covers two types of questions:
I. Choose a similar pair as the
given pair in the question on the basis of the relation between the numbers
pair given in the question.
II. Choose a number that is similar
to a group of numbers on the basis of certain similar properties that they
possess.
Alphabet
Analogy: In this type of analogy, two groups
of letters related to each other in same way, are given. The candidate is
required to identify the relationship & choose a group of letters which is
related in the same way to a 3rd group given in the question. These questions
become easier to solve if you memorize the alphabetic positions of the letters
in the alphabet. (eg: A=1, M=13, etc.)

= 3
579 -> 5 + 7 + 9 = 21 -> 2 + 1
= 3
471 -> 4 + 7 + 1 = 12 -> 1 + 2
= 3
