MAT - Miller Analogies Logical and Mathematical Patterns Questions and Answers

Question 1

81 : 9 :: 64 : ____

Accepted Answer

8

Answer

The relationship in the first pair is that the second number is the square root of the first number (√81 = 9). Applying this mathematical pattern, the missing term is the square root of 64, which is 8.

Question 2

TRIANGLE : HEXAGON :: 3 : ____

Accepted Answer

6

Answer

The relationship is between a polygon and its number of sides. A triangle has 3 sides. A hexagon has 6 sides. The analogy links the number of sides of the first shape to the number of sides of the second shape.

Question 3

ACE : GIK :: BDF : ____

Accepted Answer

HJL

Answer

In the first pair (ACE), each letter is separated by one skipped letter (A-B-C-D-E). The second term (GIK) begins two letters after the last letter of the first term (E -> F, G) and follows the same pattern (G-H-I-J-K). Applying this logic to the second pair, BDF also has one skipped letter between each character. The next term must start two letters after F (G, H), so it starts with H. Following the same pattern of skipping one letter results in HJL (H-I-J-K-L).

Question 4

SEED : SPROUT :: LARVA : ____

Accepted Answer

PUPA

Answer

This analogy represents a sequential stage in a life cycle. A seed develops into a sprout. In the complete metamorphosis of many insects, the larva stage is followed by the pupa stage. An egg precedes the larva, and an adult follows the pupa. Chrysalis is the specific term for a butterfly's pupa.

Question 5

2 : 8 :: 4 : ____

Accepted Answer

64

Answer

The mathematical pattern is that the second number is the cube of the first number (2 x 2 x 2 = 8). To complete the analogy, you must find the cube of the second number. Therefore, 4 cubed (4 x 4 x 4) is 64.
