SSC Selection Post 2021 Question Paper (09-Feb-2022) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is
Paper

To solve the analogy question, we need to understand the relationship between the words "Wax" and "Candle" and find an equivalent relationship for "Pulp."

  1. Understanding the Given Relationship:
    • Wax is a raw material that is used to make candles. Thus, wax is to candle what raw material is to finished product.
  2. Applying the Same Logic:
    • Pulp is a raw material used in the production of paper. Thus, pulp is to paper what raw material is to finished product.
  3. Evaluating the Options:
    • Wood: Although wood can be related to pulp as a source, the direct use of pulp is in making paper.
    • Paper: This is the direct end product fabricated using pulp, analogous to wax and candles.
    • Bamboo: This is a source of pulp, not a product made from pulp.
    • Tree: Like bamboo and wood, it is more a source than a direct product.
  4. Conclusion:
    • Based on the analogy, since wax is related to candle (final product), pulp is related to paper (final product).

Thus, the correct answer is Paper.
