Taj Mahal : Marble :: Book : ______ ?

Appeared in: AIIMS Manglagiri NO - 2019

This question requires identifying the relationship in the first pair of words, which is 'Object : Material'.
The Taj Mahal is a famous monument (object) that is constructed primarily from marble (material).
To solve the analogy, the same 'Object : Material' relationship must be applied to the word 'Book'.
A book (object) is made from paper (material), making 'Paper' the correct corresponding word.

Option A: An author is the creator of the book's content, not the physical material it is made from. This represents a 'Creator : Creation' relationship.
Option B: Stories represent the content or information within a book, not its physical substance. This is an 'Object : Content' relationship.
Option C: A library is a location where books are stored or borrowed. This represents an 'Object : Location' relationship.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Analogical Reasoning as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
This is a general intelligence question, not a clinical one. Nursing entrance exams often include these to assess logical reasoning and problem-solving skills.
Strong analytical skills are crucial for nurses to interpret patient data, prioritize care, and make sound clinical judgments.
What if the first pair was 'Sculptor : Statue'? The relationship would change to 'Creator : Creation', and the correct answer for 'Book' would then be 'Author'.

How to Approach the Question

First, analyze the relationship between the first pair of words: 'Taj Mahal' and 'Marble'.
Identify that the Taj Mahal is an object, and Marble is the material it is made from. The relationship is 'Object : Material'.
Next, apply this exact same relationship to the second word, 'Book'.
Ask yourself: 'What material is a book made from?'
Evaluate the given options: 'Author' (creator), 'Stories' (content), 'Library' (location), and 'Paper' (material).
Select the option that fits the 'Object : Material' relationship, which is 'Paper'.
