This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2024 Question Paper (26-Jun-2024) (Shift-4)
The correct answer is
China

The problem presented is an analogy-based question, a common type in logical reasoning tests. We are given a pair of words and asked to determine the relationship between them. Then, we apply the same relationship to another word to find a correctly related word from the options provided.

  1. Understanding the Relationship: The first pair given is Sahara : Libya. Here, the Sahara is a famous desert located in Libya among other countries. The relationship is "Desert : Country that contains the desert."
  2. Applying the Same Relationship: We apply the same principle to the term Gobi. The Gobi is a well-known desert primarily found in China.
  3. Evaluating the Options:
    • India: The Thar Desert is partly in India, but not the Gobi.
    • China: The Gobi Desert is largely in China, which matches the relationship.
    • Uzbekistan: This country is known for other deserts but not the Gobi.
    • Afghanistan: Has deserts, but not the Gobi.
  4. Conclusion: The correct option is China, as it contains the Gobi Desert, mirroring the relationship given in the initial pair. Therefore, the correct answer is China.

The thought process involves identifying the geographical locations associated with the deserts and applying this knowledge to choose the correct answer that fits the established pattern.
