The Correct Option is C
Approach Solution - 1
To solve the logical reasoning problem, we need to identify the relationship in the given pairs and apply it to the incomplete pair. The initial relationships are: "Pig: Farrow" and "Lion: Cub". This shows a relationship between a type of animal and its young.
In the pair "Pig: Farrow", "Farrow" is the term for a young pig. Similarly, in "Lion: Cub", "Cub" is the term for a young lion. Thus, these pairs are structured as "Animal: Young One".
Our task is to determine the correct term for a young bear. The options provided are: Goat, Cygnet, Cub, Foal.
To find the appropriate answer:
- The young of a goat is a "Kid".
- A "Cygnet" is the young of a swan.
- A "Cub" is the young of a bear.
- A "Foal" is the young of a horse.
From the analysis above, it is clear that the word which completes the analogy "Bear: ?" by representing the young of a bear is "Cub".
Thus, the correct answer is: Cub.

This analogy is built on the special names given to the young of particular animals, so the fastest way to solve it is to group animals by which ones share the same name for their offspring rather than listing every animal's baby name in isolation.
Farrow and cub are not generic words, farrow names only a baby pig, while cub is a shared name used for the young of several animals at once, including lions, tigers, wolves, foxes and bears. Since the given pair already tells us Lion is to Cub, and bear happens to belong to that very same group of animals whose young are called cubs, the pattern carries straight across to bear.
- Option A (Goat): A goat's young is called a kid, not a bear's young, so this is incorrect.
- Option B (Cygnet): A cygnet is a baby swan, unrelated to a bear, so this is incorrect.
- Option C (Cub): A bear's young is called a cub, the very same term already used for the lion in the given pair, so this fits the pattern.
- Option D (Foal): A foal is a baby horse, not a bear, so this is incorrect.
Since bears belong to the same group of animals whose offspring are called cubs, the missing term is cub.
the correct answer is Option C: Cub.
