Analogy Aptitude Questions & Formulas with answer


Ques 1 GATE 2025 SET-2


Bird: Nest :: Bee: ______
Select the correct option to complete the analogy.

A

Kennel

B

Hammock

C

Hive

D

Lair

(c) is the correct answer.

A bird lives in a nest. This relationship is between an animal and its home. To solve the analogy, we need to find the place where a bee lives. A kennel is the home of a dog, so it is not correct. A hammock is used by humans for resting, so it is also incorrect. A lair is the home of a wild animal like a lion or tiger, which is not a bee’s home. The correct answer is hive, because bees live in hives, just like birds live in nests.

✅ Final Answer: Hive

Birds live in nests, and bees live in hives. This shows a similar relationship between a creature and its home.
