  1. A.

    Money : Thousand

  2. B.

    Quantity : Weight

  3. C.

    Litre : Liquid

  4. D.

    Circle : Area

Attempted by 7 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

In this analogy the first word is a unit of measurement and the second word is the quantity it is used to measure: a mile is a unit used to measure distance.

Applying the same relationship, a litre is the unit used to measure the volume of a liquid, so 'Litre : Liquid' follows the same 'unit : quantity measured' pattern. The other pairs fail this test: money, quantity and a circle are not measuring units of the quantities paired with them.
