Orthopaedic : Bone :: Cardiologist : ?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2023 (Tier-II) Paper 1 Previous Year Paper (26-Oct-2023) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

Heart

This question asks us to find the word that has the same relationship with 'Cardiologist' as 'Bone' has with 'Orthopaedic'. This is a word analogy problem.

Understanding the Orthopaedic : Bone Relationship

Let's first analyze the relationship between the first pair of words: 'Orthopaedic' and 'Bone'.

  • An Orthopaedic doctor, or Orthopaedist, is a medical specialist.
  • They specialize in the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
  • Therefore, the relationship between Orthopaedic and Bone is that an Orthopaedic specialist deals with or treats conditions related to Bones. It is a "Specialist : Related Body Part" relationship.

Applying the Relationship to Cardiologist

Now we need to apply the same relationship to the word 'Cardiologist'.

  • A Cardiologist is also a medical specialist.
  • Following the pattern "Specialist : Related Body Part", we need to find the body part that a Cardiologist specializes in.
  • A Cardiologist specializes in the study and treatment of the heart and blood vessels.
  • Therefore, the body part related to a Cardiologist in the same way Bone is related to Orthopaedic is the Heart.

Analyzing the Options

Let's look at the given options:

  1. Kidney
  2. Heart
  3. Lungs
  4. Brain

We need to find the option that represents the body part a Cardiologist specializes in.

  • Kidney: A specialist who deals with kidneys is called a Nephrologist. So, this is not the correct relationship.
  • Heart: A specialist who deals with the heart is called a Cardiologist. This matches the relationship we identified.
  • Lungs: A specialist who deals with lungs is called a Pulmonologist. So, this is not the correct relationship.
  • Brain: A specialist who deals with the brain and nervous system is called a Neurologist. So, this is not the correct relationship.

Conclusion

Based on the analysis, the word that completes the analogy Orthopaedic : Bone :: Cardiologist : ? is Heart, because an Orthopaedic specialist deals with Bones, and a Cardiologist specializes in the Heart.

The correct option is Heart.

Additional Information on Word Analogies

Word analogies test your ability to understand relationships between pairs of words and apply that relationship to a new pair. Common types of relationships include:

  • Part to Whole: Finger : Hand
  • Cause and Effect: Rain : Flood
  • Synonyms: Happy : Joyful
  • Antonyms: Hot : Cold
  • Tool and User: Pen : Writer
  • Specialist and Field/Body Part: Cardiologist : Heart
  • Action and Object: Read : Book
  • Degree of Intensity: Warm : Hot

To solve word analogies effectively, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the relationship between the first pair of words.
  2. Express that relationship in a simple phrase or sentence (e.g., "X is a part of Y", "X is the opposite of Y", "X is a specialist in Y").
  3. Apply the exact same relationship to the third word to find the fourth word.
  4. Check the options to see which one fits the determined relationship.
