Question

In the following question, select the related word from the given alternatives.

Mekong : Tibet :: Amazon : ?

1. A. Chile
2. B. Peru (Correct answer)
3. C. Colombia
4. D. Ecuador

Correct Answer

Option B — Peru

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Peru.

Key Points

• This is a river-to-source analogy.
• The Mekong rises on the Tibetan Plateau, so the second pair must link a river to where it originates.
• The Amazon rises in the Andes of Peru (from the Apurímac/Mantaro headwaters).
• Chile, Colombia and Ecuador are South American countries the Amazon basin touches, but the river's source is in Peru — the analogy needs the origin, not just a country in the region.
• Fix the relationship from the first pair ('river → source region') before testing the options.
