Number Analogy is a crucial step in solving questions on reasoning ability. The candidates are asked to identify and point out relationships, similarities or differences, and dissimilarities in a series or between groups of numbers. In abstract number analogy, certain relationships can be used like product of prime numbers, product of odd numbers or even numbers, adding 1 to a number and many more.
Following are some categories of abstract number analogies.
Example 1 : Product of Prime Numbers : 6 : 15:: 35 : ?
a) 30 b) 40 c) 77 d) 80
Solution: The first few prime numbers (all the prime numbers less than 100) are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 etc. 2 X 3 = 6, 3 X 5 = 15, 5 X 7 = 35.
Hence, 7 X 11 = 77. Correct option is (c) i.e. 77
Example 2 : Product of Odd Numbers :- 15 : 35:: 63 : ?
a) 30 b) 99 c) 77 d) 100
Solution : The first few odd numbers (all the odd numbers less than 100) are: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 etc. 3 X 5 = 15, 5 X 7 = 35, 7 X 9 = 63.
Hence, 9 X 11 = 99. Correct option is 90 (b) i.e. 99.
Example 3 : Product of Even Numbers :- 8 : 24:: 48 : ?
a) 80 b) 100 c) 120 d) 140
Solution : The first few even numbers (all the even numbers less than 100) are: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 etc. 2 X 4 = 8, 4 X 6 = 24, 6 X 8 = 48. Hence 8 X 10 = 80. Correct option is (a) i.e. 80
Example 4 : Identify the missing term : 8 : 14:: 20 : ?
a) 26 b) 30 c) 40 d) 100
Solution : Identify the terms in the series. Use n : n + k: where "k" is a number.
8 + 6 = 14, 14 + 6 = 20, Hence 20 + 6 = 26. In this question "k" is a constant term whose value is 6. Correct option is (a) i.e. 26.
Example 5 : Identify the missing term : 8 : 32:: 10 : ?
a) 60 b) 30 c) 50 d) 70
Solution : Identify the terms in the series. Use n : : where "n" is the first number.
, Hence, we can find this value for n = 10 ,
Correct option is (c) i.e. 50

My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
