Question:

Which option will give same relationship on both sides

SNAKE : REPTILE ::

Options:

Fish : Water

Man: Mammal

Owl : Fly

Cow : Grass

Correct Answer:

Man: Mammal

Explanation:

Out of the given options, only Man : Mammal holds the same relationship as SNAKE : REPTILE. Here's why:

  • SNAKE : REPTILE - Snake is a specific type of reptile. So, the relationship is of a species to genus.
  • Man : Mammal - Similarly, man is a specific type of mammal. This also represents a species to genus relationship.

The other options don't hold the same relationship:

  • Fish : Water - Fish live in water, but water isn't a taxonomic category for fish. The relationship is more like habitat to inhabitant.
  • Owl : Fly - Owls can fly, but flying isn't a taxonomic category for owls. It's an ability/characteristic, not a broader classification.
  • Cow : Grass - Cows eat grass, but grass isn't a taxonomic category for cows. It's a dietary preference, not a classification.

Therefore, only Man : Mammal mirrors the species to genus relationship of SNAKE : REPTILE in the given options.
