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

Analogy: Needle to Stitch as Scissors to ?

This problem requires identifying the relationship between the first two terms (Needle : Stitch) and applying that same relationship to the third term (Scissors : ?) to find the fourth term.

Relationship Between Needle and Stitch

A Needle is a tool used to perform the action of creating a Stitch. The relationship is primarily defined by the function or purpose of the tool.

Applying the Relationship to Scissors

Similarly, Scissors are a tool. We need to identify the primary action or result associated with using scissors.

  • Option 1: Cut - Scissors are designed specifically for cutting materials. This matches the function-based relationship.
  • Option 2: Slice - While related to cutting, 'slice' often implies a finer or specific type of cut, not the general function.
  • Option 3: Break - Scissors do not primarily break things.
  • Option 4: Scrape - Scissors are not used for scraping.

Conclusion

The action most directly and commonly associated with the tool Scissors, mirroring the Needle : Stitch relationship, is Cut.
