Desert : Camel :: River : ?

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

Analogy Reasoning: Desert Camel River Boat

The question requires identifying the relationship between the first pair of words (Desert : Camel) and applying it to find the missing word related to the third term (River).

Relationship Analysis

The relationship between Desert and Camel is that a camel is an animal commonly found in, and often used for transportation across, the desert.

Applying the Relationship

We need to find a word related to River in the same way that Camel is related to Desert. This means looking for something commonly found on or used for transportation on a river.

  • Lake: A lake is a body of water, but not directly analogous to the transport/dweller role of a camel in a desert.
  • Dam: A dam is a structure built across a river, not something primarily associated with transport on it.
  • Boat: A boat is a vessel used for transportation on rivers. This matches the relationship observed in the first pair.
  • Tiger: While tigers might live near rivers, they are not a primary means of transport or the most defining element associated with river usage in the way a camel is for a desert.

Conclusion

The word Boat shares the same relationship with River (means of transport on it) as Camel does with Desert (means of transport across it). Therefore, Boat is the correct answer.
