Jaggery : Sugar :: Pepper : ?

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Chilli

Analogy Reasoning: Jaggery to Sugar

The first pair, Jaggery : Sugar, establishes a relationship based on refinement level. Jaggery is a less processed, natural sweetener derived from sources like sugarcane juice or palm sap. Sugar (typically refined white sugar) is the highly processed, purified crystalline form of sweetener from the same sources. The core relationship is: Less Refined Form : Refined Form within the category of sweeteners.

Spice Relationship: Pepper to Chilli

Applying this logic to the second pair, Pepper : ?, we look for a similar relationship among the options. Pepper is a spice known for its pungent flavour. We need a related spice that fits the pattern.

  • Salt belongs to a different category of seasoning.
  • Green and White can describe types or stages of pepper (e.g., white pepper is processed black pepper), but they don't represent a distinct, commonly associated spice in the same way the analogy implies.
  • Chilli (or Chili Pepper) is another major spice globally recognized for adding heat and flavour. While originating from different plants (Piper vs. Capsicum), both Pepper and Chilli are foundational spices often grouped together in culinary contexts for their role in providing pungency and heat.

Therefore, the analogy links two key spices within the broad category of 'heat-providing spices', mirroring the Jaggery: Sugar relationship of less refined to refined within sweeteners.

Final Answer Derivation

The relationship identified is Less Refined Form : Refined Form (sweeteners) or broadly, Primary Item : Related Item within Category (spices). Chilli best fits as the related spice to Pepper in this context.

The correct option is the one representing Chilli.
