ReasoningAnalogy, Classification & Odd One Out
'School' is related to 'Student' in the same way as 'Hospital' is related to _____.
- a.Medicine
- b.Nurse
- c.Doctor
- d.Patient
Answer: (D) Patient
A school exists to serve students, who are its beneficiaries; in the same way a hospital exists to serve patients. Doctors and nurses correspond to teachers and staff (those who provide the service), and medicine corresponds to books or teaching aids (the means). So the analogy is institution : the person for whom it functions - School : Student :: Hospital : Patient. Similar pairs: court : litigant, shop : customer, hotel : guest.
