To solve the analogy problem, we first need to understand the relationship between the numbers 7 and 34. The relationship here can be found through multiplication: 7 multiplied by 5 equals 35, which is 1 less than 34. So, we can say that 7 is related to 34 through the equation:
7 x 5 – 1 = 34
Now, we apply the same logic to the number 5. If we multiply 5 by 5, we get:
5 x 5 = 25
Following the pattern established, we take this result and subtract 1:
5 x 5 – 1 = 24
Now we look at the options provided: 11, 43, 41, and 13. The result of our calculation does not match any of these options. However, if we adjust the multiplication factor to align with the initial equation:
Consider multiplying 5 by 8. This gives us:
5 x 8 = 40
Now, if we subtract 1 again, we find:
5 x 8 – 1 = 39
None of our calculations seem to directly match the options. But, if we analyze the actual answers again, we find:
34 is 5 times 7 plus a small adjustment
We also notice that 41 is just a little above what we’ve calculated, so if we venture the assumption that there is a similar multiplying factor:
5 x 8.2 = 41
It leads us to conclude that:
The answer seems to be c) 41.
