Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster.
PENSION: NENSIOP :: QUALITY: YUALITQ :: PRODUCT:?
Analyzing Letter Cluster Relationships
The question presents an analogy based on letter cluster manipulation. We need to identify the pattern used to transform the first word into the second and the third into the fourth, then apply it to the fifth word.
Identifying the Pattern
Let's examine the first pair: PENSION becomes NENSIOP.
- Original Word: P E N S I O N
- Transformed Word: N E N S I O P
- Observation: The first letter ('P') moves to the last position, and the last letter ('N') moves to the first position. The letters in between ('ENSIO') remain in their original order.
Let's verify this pattern with the second pair: QUALITY becomes YUALITQ.
- Original Word: Q U A L I T Y
- Transformed Word: Y U A L I T Q
- Observation: The first letter ('Q') moves to the last position, and the last letter ('Y') moves to the first position. The letters in between ('UALIT') remain unchanged.
The pattern holds: Swap the first and last letters, keeping the middle section constant.
Applying the Pattern to PRODUCT
Now, let's apply this identified pattern to the word PRODUCT.
- Original Word: P R O D U C T
- First Letter: P
- Last Letter: T
- Middle Section: R O D U C
Applying the transformation (swap first and last letters):
- New First Letter: T
- Middle Section: R O D U C
- New Last Letter: P
Combining these parts gives the transformed word: TRODUCP.
Conclusion
The letter-cluster PRODUCT transforms into TRODUCP by swapping its first and last letters.
Important Questions from Analogy (SSC)
Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. (The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word) Frivolous : Big :: Deride : ?
Select the pair in which the numbers are related to each other in the same way as are the numbers in the given pairs. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/deleting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
