- Watch : Dial : Strap
- Book : Paper : Words
- Farmer : Plough : Field
- Colour : Brush : Canvas
Show Solution
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The clearest way to solve this is to describe the original triplet as a mini-sentence, then test which option fits the same sentence template.
- Template: “A pen is dipped in ink and used to write on paper.”
- Watch : Dial : Strap: These are just three parts of one object, with no “dip a tool in a substance to mark a surface” action, so it fails the template.
- Book : Paper : Words: Describes composition, not an action involving a tool and a material, so it fails too.
- Farmer : Plough : Field: A farmer uses a plough on a field, but there is no substance (like ink or paint) the plough is “dipped in”, so the match is only partial.
- Colour : Brush : Canvas: “A brush is dipped in colour and used to paint on canvas” fits the template word for word.
So the correct answer is option D.
