In the following question, there is a certain relationship between the two words on one side of ::, and one word is given on the other side of ::, while another word is to be found from the given alternatives.
Letter : Letterbox :: Coconut : ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Shell
A letter is kept inside a letterbox: the second word is the container that encloses the first. In the same way, the edible part of a coconut is enclosed in its hard shell, so Coconut : Shell completes the pair.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) Peel — Incorrect. Peel is the soft skin of fruits such as bananas and oranges; a coconut has a hard shell, not a peel.
Option (2) Cover — Incorrect. It is a general word for anything placed over a thing, not the natural case of a coconut.
Option (4) Sphere — Incorrect. It names the coconut's shape, not something that holds it.
