It is one of the important topic of General Intelligence and Reasoning. It is a key topic which has more weightage in competitive exams. The analogy is a type of logical reasoning where we compare and contrast the different letters, words, groups or general awareness-based topics with each other on their similar characteristics, behaviour or nature upon which they are interdependent. Letter and Number Based analogy is in which there is an amalgamation of numbers and letters in a pattern which are related to or similar to each other. To answer such an analogy question you have to arrange the words and numbers in sequence for understanding. Then we have to check which logic they have asked it might be addition, subtraction, number-letter pair etc. After finding the relationship between them we have to choose the specific answer according to it. Testbook has provided you with many questions related to it which will help you for better understanding and practising purpose so you could increase your accuracy and speed which both are required in all the exams.
