MAT - Miller Analogies Logical and Mathematical Patterns Questions and Answers 1 — Questions and Answers

Question 1: 81 : 9 :: 64 : ____

4
16
32
8 (Correct answer)

Correct answer: 8

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 : ____

5
8
6 (Correct answer)
4

Correct answer: 6

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 : ____

HJL (Correct answer)
GIK
IKM
CEG

Correct answer: HJL

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 : ____

ADULT
EGG
PUPA (Correct answer)
CHRYSALIS

Correct answer: PUPA

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 : ____

16
32
12
64 (Correct answer)

Correct answer: 64

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.

Question 6: METER : KILOMETER :: GRAM : ____

MILLIGRAM
CENTIGRAM
WEIGHT
KILOGRAM (Correct answer)

Correct answer: KILOGRAM

The relationship is between a base unit of measurement and a unit that is one thousand times larger. A kilometer is 1,000 meters. Following this pattern, a kilogram is 1,000 grams. Milligram and centigram are smaller units, and weight is the concept being measured, not a unit in the same pattern.
