Meter

Analogous Relationship Explained

The question presents an analogy based on units of measurement. We need to identify the relationship between the first pair of words and apply it to find the missing word for the second pair.

Relationship Analysis

  • Hour and Minute: An hour is a unit of time, and a minute is a smaller, standard unit of time within an hour. Specifically, 60 minutes make 1 hour.
  • Kilometer and ?: A kilometer is a unit of distance. We need to find a word from the options that represents a smaller, standard unit of distance related to a kilometer in the same way a minute relates to an hour.

Identifying the Correct Unit

We examine the options for a unit of distance smaller than a kilometer:

  • Meter: A meter is a standard unit of length/distance. 1000 meters make 1 kilometer. This matches the relationship seen between Hour and Minute.
  • Gram: A unit of mass.
  • Litre: A unit of volume.
  • Weight: A measure of force (often confused with mass).

Therefore, the word that correctly completes the analogy is 'Meter'.
