Question

Courts : _________ :: Parliament : Legislature ; (By word meaning)

• A. Judiciary
• B. Executive
• C. Governmental
• D. Legal

Hint:

In analogy questions, first lock the {relation type} (here, body \(\to\) branch of state) and keep the {parts of speech} parallel (noun:noun). Then eliminate options that are different branches or merely adjectives.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identify the given relation in the second pair. Parliament is an institution that belongs to the Legislature branch of the state.
Hence, the pattern is: \(\text{Institution/Body} : \text{Branch of Government}\).
Step 2: Apply the same relation to the first pair. Courts are institutions/bodies that belong to the Judiciary branch. \(\Rightarrow\) Courts : Judiciary.
Step 3: Eliminate distractors.
(B) Executive — this is a different branch (not the one to which courts belong).
(C) Governmental — generic adjective, not a specific branch.
(D) Legal — adjective; the pair would break the noun:noun structure and hierarchy relation.
\[ \boxed{\text{Courts : Judiciary :: Parliament : Legislature}} \]
