Choosing the Odd Relationships
An analogy helps in the selection of different sets of data and figures by comparing different sets of data and information by differentiating odd relationships.
Introduction
Analogy refers to the transmission of data and information and comparing it to get the desired results. The analogy is a significant part of logic and reasoning. Various types of analogy categorize it in the form of numerical based analogy, alphabet-based analogy and figure based analogy. Choosing odd relationships is one of the integral parts of the analogy section. Odd relationships in the data show that in the given sets of data or figures, more than one set represents similar relationships and having same features. There can be one set that differs in the characters in comparison to other sets of data.
Choosing the odd relationships: overview
In the reasoning section of competitive exams, analogy plays a very significant role. In the analogy part, there are two parts of logical reasoning, one is the question part and another is the answer part. It can be letter-based, general knowledge-based, numerical based or figure based. Odd relationships selection is a crucial technique to analyze the mental ability of the candidate by examining the reasoning skills. In context to the odd relationships between data or numerical, there are similar relationships between information given, while certain data do not possess the same characteristics and share odd relationships. Odd relationships can be formed between the figures, numbers, alphabets, letters, images, and other similar sets of information. After a thorough analysis of the given information, the relationship unusual in characteristics can be known. Furthermore, the odd relationships can also be witnessed in the words describing name, relationships, place or a thing.
Choosing the odd relationships: examples
Sorting out the relationship between odd datasets requires immense scrutiny of the information available. Choosing the odd relationships can be understood more clearly with examples. Odd relationships also form between figures, which can be understood by the following figure.
Example 1: with the help of the following figure find the figure which has an odd relationship with others.
Figure 1: sets of figures for finding odd relationships.
In the given sets of figures, there are five different figures, out of all figures have similar relationships except for one figure. With the help of analysis, it can be seen that elements in figure D are differently placed while the other figures rotate and can be rotated in each other. So the correct figure will be of the D part.
Choosing the odd relationships: questions
Selection of the odd relationship can be based on various data sets such as numerical relationships, alphabetical and figure relationships. The following questions and their solutions will make it further distinct the odd relationships more intelligently.
Five sets of words are given, out of which words in four sets have a certain common relationship. Find the odd relationships from the following sets.
Dim: Bright B. Genuine: Real C. Involvement: Indifference: D. Wrong: Right: E. Shallow: Deep
The above question shows the relationship between words forming adjectives. The correct answer for the question is option C. Involvement: Indifference, as all other sets represent antonyms for each other.
Out of 5 given numbers, four are similar in certain ways but one is different. Choose the one which has a different relationship with each other.
217, B. 126, C. 513, D. 730, E. 345.
The odd relationship in the above question can be encountered with option E. 345. It is because all the numbers except 345 have more than a cube for a certain number.
Conclusion
The analogy provided different techniques for the comparison of data sets and sets of figures. It can enhance the reasoning skills and mental ability of the candidate. This is why it has been given a significant place in the competitive exams. In the current scenario, selection techniques and methods are discussed about the odd information. Odd relationships can be encountered in different sets of words, images, figures, alphabets and others. Odd relationships between the information available can be intelligibility understood with examples and questions. Different questions can make the concept of odd relationships more clear. Odd relationships can be analyzed with any word, letter, and alphabets showing similar characteristics and out of which one is different.
