Question

Royal Bengal Tiger : India :: Snow Leopard : \_\_\_\_\_\_

• A. Sri Lanka
• B. Pakistan
• C. Afghanistan
• D. Bangladesh

Hint:

When solving analogies, focus on identifying geographical or natural relationships that link the two subjects in the analogy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve this analogy, we need to understand the relationship between the two animals (Royal Bengal Tiger and Snow Leopard) and their respective countries. The key here is to understand their natural habitats.
- The Royal Bengal Tiger is native to India, with the Sundarbans mangrove forest being the primary region where this species is found. India is particularly famous for its large population of Royal Bengal Tigers.
- Similarly, the Snow Leopard is a high-altitude animal found primarily in the mountainous regions of Central Asia, particularly in Afghanistan, where it thrives in rugged and remote areas. It is known to inhabit the steep, rocky mountain ranges of this country.
Thus, just as the Royal Bengal Tiger is associated with India, the Snow Leopard is predominantly associated with Afghanistan. This relationship is based on the geographical location and habitat of these species, making Afghanistan the correct match in the analogy.
- Option (a) Sri Lanka: Incorrect. The Royal Bengal Tiger is native to India, and there is no prominent native species in Sri Lanka that would match the Snow Leopard.
- Option (b) Pakistan: Incorrect. While Pakistan does have some mountainous regions, the Snow Leopard is not as predominantly associated with Pakistan as it is with Afghanistan.
- Option (c) Afghanistan: Correct. The Snow Leopard is primarily found in Afghanistan, particularly in its northern mountainous regions. This is the correct answer.
- Option (d) Bangladesh: Incorrect. While Bangladesh shares the Sundarbans with India, it is not the primary habitat for the Snow Leopard.
Thus, the correct choice is (c) Afghanistan, as the Snow Leopard’s habitat is most prominently in Afghanistan.
