Understanding Country-Currency Analogies

This question presents an analogy where the relationship between the first pair of words needs to be identified and applied to the second pair. The first pair is 'China' and 'Yuan'. Let's analyze the relationship between 'China' and 'Yuan'. The Yuan is the official currency of China. So, the relationship is: Country → Currency We are given 'Japan' and need to find the word that shares the same relationship with it. This means we need to find the currency of Japan. Let's look at the options provided:
  • Rand: The Rand is the currency of South Africa. This does not fit the relationship with Japan.
  • Sushi: Sushi is a well-known Japanese food. It is not a currency.
  • Lira: The Lira is the currency of Turkey. It was also formerly the currency of Italy and other countries. This is not the currency of Japan.
  • Yen: The Yen (\(\yen\)) is the official currency of Japan. This fits the Country → Currency relationship with Japan.
Therefore, following the pattern from the first pair ('China' is related to 'Yuan' as Country → Currency), 'Japan' is related to its currency, which is 'Yen'.

Additional Information on Country-Currency Analogies

Analogy questions test your ability to identify relationships between pairs of words. Common relationships include:
  • Country and Capital (e.g., India : Delhi)
  • State and Capital (e.g., California : Sacramento)
  • Animal and Sound (e.g., Lion : Roar)
  • Object and Function (e.g., Knife : Cut)
  • Worker and Tool (e.g., Carpenter : Hammer)
  • Country and Currency (as in this question)
Practicing with different types of analogies can improve your analytical reasoning skills. Remembering key country-currency pairs is helpful for these types of questions as well as for general knowledge.
