Select the related word/letters/number from the given alternatives. Bacteria : Microscope :: Moon : ?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Telescope

To solve this analogy question, we need to understand the relationship between the words given in the pair: "Bacteria : Microscope". A microscope is an instrument used to view bacteria, which cannot be seen with the naked eye. This suggests a tool or device is needed to observe bacteria.

Now, consider the second part of the analogy: "Moon : ?". Just as a microscope is used to see bacteria, a device or tool should be used to observe the Moon.

Given the options:

  • Night
  • Earth
  • Satellite
  • Telescope

The correct choice is "Telescope" because, similar to how a microscope helps view bacteria, a telescope is an instrument used to observe celestial objects like the Moon, which cannot be clearly seen with the naked eye.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Telescope.
