Analogical reasoning is a stock topic.Analogy is a comparison
between one thing and another.It is like similie,It is denoted by
as,like, than etc. Many times such questions are asked.:
1) Men and woman may have different reproductive strategies but
neither can be considered inferior or superior to the other, any more
than a bird’s wings can be considered superior or inferior to a fish’s
fins. What type of argument it is ? (1) Biological (2) Physiological
(3) Analogical (4) Hypothetical(Ans3) (UGC net 2018)
2) Consider the following statement and select the correct code
stating the nature of the argument involved in it : To suppose that
the earth is the only populated world in the infinite space is as
absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet only one grain
will grow. (1) Astronomical (2) Anthropological (3) Deductive (4)
Analogical (Ans4) (UGC net 2016)
3) A man ought no more to value himself for being wiser than a
woman if he owes his advantage to a better education, than he ought
to boast of his courage for beating a man when his hands were tied.”
The above passage is an instance of (A) Deductive argument (B)
Hypothetical argument (C) Analogical argument (D) Factual
argument(AnsC) (UGC net 2014)
4)If a large diamond is cut up into little bits, it will lose its value just
as an army is divided up into small units of soldiers, it loses its
strength.” The argument put above may be called as (A) Analogical
(B) Deductive (C) Statistical (D) Causal(AnsA) (UGC net 2014)
5)Saturn and Mars are planets like the earth. They borrow light from
the Sun and moves around the Sun as the Earth does. So those
planets are inhabited by various orders of creatures as the earth is.
What type of argument is contained in the above passage ? (A)
Deductive (B) Astrological (C) Analogical (D) Mathematical
(Ans C) (UGC net2013 )

Venn diagram is another stock topic. Venn diagram is a diagram
representing mathematical or logical sets pictorially as circles or
closed curves within an enclosing rectangle (the universal set),
common elements of the sets being represented by intersections of
the circles. A Venn diagram is a diagram that shows all possible
logical relations between a finite collection of different sets. These
diagrams depict elements as points in the plane, and sets as regions
inside closed curves. A Venn diagram consists of multiple
overlapping closed curves, usually circles, each representing a set
1)Venn diagram is a kind of diagram to
(A) represent and assess the validity of elementary inferences of
syllogistic form. (B) represent but not assess the validity of
elementary inferences of syllogistic form. (C) represent and assess
the truth of elementary inferences of syllogistic form. (D) assess but
not represent the truth of elementary inferences of syllogistic form.
(AnsA) (UGC netJune2012 )
2)Venn diagram is a kind of diagram to (A) represent and assess the
truth of elementary inferences with the help of Boolean Algebra of
classes. (B) represent and assess the validity of elementary
inferences with the help of Boolean Algebra of classes. (C)
represent but not assess the validity of elementary inferences with
the help of Boolean Algebra of classes. (D) assess but not represent
the validity of elementary inferences with the help of Boolean
Algebra of classes. (AnsB) ((UGC netJune2011)
3)Which one of the following statements is not correct in the context
of Venn diagram method ? (1) It requires two overlapping circles for
the two premises of a standardform categorical syllogism. (2) It can
be used to represent classes as well as propositions. (3) It is a
method of testing the validity of arguments. (4) It represents both
the premises of a syllogism in one diagram. (AnsA)
