Logical Reasoning - Analogies - Discussion

A good way to figure out the relationship in a given question is to make up a sentence that describes the relationship between the first two words. Then, try to use the same sentence to find out which of the answer choices completes the same relationship with the third word.


Cup is to coffee as bowl is to

[A]. dish
[B]. soup
[C]. spoon
[D]. food

Answer: Option B


Coffee goes into a cup and soup goes into a bowl. Choices a and c are incorrect because they are other utensils. The answer is not choice d because the word food is too general.

Answer can also be food because often we keep food in bowl and soup is also a kind of food.

Coffee is in cup so simply soup is in bowl.

I don't think that answer is too good, because bowls can be used for rice and other foods.

Bowls were made for soup and universally used as such. Plus food would be for plates.

Cup is a coffee - in the form of liquid.

Bowl is a soup - in the form of liquid.

Many certain foods can not be put in a bowl. So, food is not the correct option.

Yes, both soup & food are correct.

No, only soup is the right answer.
