Difficulty: EasyAnalogy and Classification

Match each scientific instrument in List-I with the corresponding physical quantity or phenomenon it measures in List-II. Which set of pairings correctly matches all items?

  • SeismographEarthquake intensity
  • ThermometerTemperature
  • AnemometerWind speed
  • HygrometerHumidity

Answer

Seismograph corresponds to Earthquake intensity, Thermometer corresponds to Temperature, Anemometer corresponds to Wind speed, and Hygrometer corresponds to Humidity.
Each instrument is correctly linked to the physical quantity it measures: Seismograph measures earthquake intensity, Thermometer measures temperature, Anemometer measures wind speed, and Hygrometer measures humidity.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary function of each instrument in List-I
Seismograph detects ground movements (earthquakes), Thermometer measures heat/temperature, Anemometer measures airflow/wind, and Hygrometer measures humidity.
Establishing the semantic analogy relationship between an instrument and its measured parameter.
2
Pair each item from List-I to its corresponding term in List-II
Seismograph → Earthquake intensity, Thermometer → Temperature, Anemometer → Wind speed, Hygrometer → Humidity.
Direct semantic association based on scientific instrument functionality.
