Smell: Nose :: Colours : ?
Analogy: Smell Nose :: Colours Eyes Explained
The question presents an analogy. We need to find the relationship between the first pair of words (Smell : Nose) and apply it to find the missing word for the second pair (Colours : ?).
Relationship Identification
The relationship between 'Smell' and 'Nose' is that the Nose is the organ used to detect or perceive Smell.
Applying the Relationship
Following the same logic, we need to identify the organ that perceives 'Colours'.
- Smell is perceived by the Nose.
- Therefore, Colours are perceived by the Eyes.
Option Analysis
Let's examine the given options based on this logic:
- Ears: Used for hearing, not perceiving colours.
- Eyes: Used for sight, which includes perceiving colours. This matches the analogy.
- Paint: A source of colour, not the organ of perception.
- Rainbow: A display of colours, not the organ of perception.
Conclusion
The organ that perceives colours is the eyes. Thus, the correct answer follows the established relationship.
