Question

There is a certain relation between two given words on one side and one word is given on another side. The word is to be found from the given alternatives, having the same relation with this word as the given pair has. Select the best alternative.
Darwin : Evolution :: Archimedes : ___}

• A. Friction
• B. Lubrication
• C. Buoyancy
• D. Liquids

Hint:

In analogy questions, identify the exact relationship (e.g., person → discovery, cause → effect) before selecting the answer.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: This is an analogy question. The relationship is between a scientist and their major contribution/discovery. Step 1:Identify the relation in the given pair.
\[ \text{Darwin} \rightarrow \text{Theory of Evolution} \]
Step 2:Apply the same relation.
\[ \text{Archimedes} \rightarrow ? \] Archimedes is known for the principle of buoyancy.
Step 3:Analyze options:

• (A) Friction → Not specifically associated with Archimedes.
• (B) Lubrication → Not related.
• (C) Buoyancy → Correct; Archimedes' principle explains buoyancy.
• (D) Liquids → Too general.

Step 4:Final analogy: \[ \text{Darwin : Evolution :: Archimedes : Buoyancy} \]
