If ‘Liver’ is related to ‘Human Body’ in the same way as ‘Motor’ is related to
Fan
This question asks us to find the relationship between two pairs of words based on an analogy. We are given the first pair: ‘Liver’ is related to ‘Human Body’.
First, let's understand the relationship between ‘Liver’ and ‘Human Body’. The liver is a vital organ that is a part of the human body. It performs crucial functions within the body. So, the relationship is 'a functional part of' or 'contained within a larger system'.
The analogy sets up a relationship where one item (Liver) is a key component or part of another item (Human Body). The liver is essential for the proper functioning of the human body.
Now we need to find which option has a similar relationship with ‘Motor’. A motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, causing movement or driving a mechanism. It is often a functional part of a larger machine or device.
Let's examine the options:
Comparing the relationships, the most appropriate analogy is that a Motor is a functional component of a Fan, just as a Liver is a functional organ of a Human Body.
Based on the analysis of the relationship between ‘Liver’ and ‘Human Body’ (functional part of a larger system), the word that shares a similar relationship with ‘Motor’ is ‘Fan’ because a motor is a key functional part that drives a fan.
| Item 1 | Relationship | Item 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Liver | is a functional part of | Human Body |
| Motor | is a functional part of | Fan |

| Analogies | Comparing two pairs of words that have the same relationship. | Apple : Fruit :: Carrot : Vegetable |
| Types of Relationships | Part-to-whole, cause-and-effect, synonym, antonym, function, object-to-user, etc. | Wheel : Car (Part-to-whole) Heat : Evaporation (Cause-and-effect) |
| Solving Analogies | Identify the relationship in the first pair, then find the option for the second pair that has the same relationship. | Read the words carefully, think about how they connect. |
In many systems and devices, different parts work together to achieve a specific function. Identifying these functional components is key to understanding how the system operates. For example:
In this analogy, the motor is the functional component that enables the fan to perform its task of moving air.
