Analogy & Classification Questions with Solutions

59 questions38 easy21 medium

Analogy questions give a pair of related words, numbers or letters and ask you to find another pair with the same relationship, such as Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher : School. Classification (odd one out) questions give a group of items where all but one share a property, and ask you to find the one that doesn't belong. Common relationships include worker and workplace, tool and use, product and raw material, animal and young one, country and capital, and synonyms or antonyms. For number and letter analogies, look for operations such as squaring, cubing or fixed letter shifts. In classification, find the property shared by most options first, then pick the item that breaks it. Practise the analogy and classification questions below, each with a step-by-step solution explaining the relationship.
