Difficulty: MediumAnalogy and Classification

Analyze the logical relationship between the pairs of words in List I. Match each pair with the corresponding pair in List II that exhibits the identical underlying logical relationship.

  • Odometer : DistanceBarometer : Pressure
  • Mycology : FungiNumismatics : Coins
  • Blueprint : ArchitectScript : Playwright
  • Penicillin : InfectionAntidote : Poison

Answer

Odometer : Distance matches Barometer : Pressure; Mycology : Fungi matches Numismatics : Coins; Blueprint : Architect matches Script : Playwright; Penicillin : Infection matches Antidote : Poison.
The correct matches are based on identifying identical relational logic: Instrument-to-Measurement, Study-to-Subject, Creation-to-Creator, and Remedy-to-Condition.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the relationship in 'Odometer : Distance'.
An odometer is an instrument used to measure distance.
Identifying the 'Instrument : Measurement' pattern allows us to find its match in List II, which is 'Barometer : Pressure'.
2
Determine the relationship in 'Mycology : Fungi'.
Mycology is the scientific study of fungi.
Identifying the 'Field of Study : Subject' pattern allows us to find its match in List II, which is 'Numismatics : Coins'.
3
Determine the relationship in 'Blueprint : Architect'.
A blueprint is a detailed plan created by an architect.
Identifying the 'Document/Plan : Creator' pattern allows us to find its match in List II, which is 'Script : Playwright'.
4
Determine the relationship in 'Penicillin : Infection'.
Penicillin is a medication used to cure an infection.
Identifying the 'Treatment : Condition' pattern allows us to find its match in List II, which is 'Antidote : Poison'.

Key Concept
