Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. (The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word.)
Cricket : Bat :: Tennis : ?

Correct option is C

To solve the analogy "Cricket : Bat :: Tennis : ?", we need to understand the relationship between the words "Cricket" and "Bat" and apply the same relationship to "Tennis."
Analyzing the Relationship:
Cricket is a sport.
A Bat is a piece of equipment used in cricket.
The relationship here is that the second word is a piece of equipment used to play the sport mentioned in the first word.
Applying the Same Relationship to "Tennis":
Tennis is a sport.
We need to identify the equipment used to play tennis.
Examining the Options:
(a) Pole: Not related to tennis equipment.
(b) Javelin: Used in athletics, not tennis.
(c) Racquet: Used to hit the tennis ball.
(d) Net: Part of the tennis court but not equipment a player uses directly.
The primary equipment used by a player in tennis to play the game is the Racquet.
Thus, the word related to "Tennis" in the same way "Bat" is related to "Cricket" is Racquet.
