If 1/2 of 5 is 3 then what is 1/3 of 10


Given 5/2=3, what will be the output of 10/3?

Answer: This is an analogical question and may have multiple correct answers depending upon the logic applied. It has only one defined value to find analogy which means the number of correct analogies would be higher. I'll give 4 analogies:


If 1/2 of 5 is 3 then what is 1/3 of 10

Analogy 1:
The ceiling of 2.5 is 3 and ceiling of 3.33 would be 4.

Analogy 2:
Round of 2.5 is 3 and Round of 3.33 is 3.

Analogy 3:
5/2=3
5/3=2
10/3 = 2* 5/3 = 4

Analogy 4:
Just for fun:
5 / 2 = 3 →2×3=5
10 / 3=(2×5) / 3=2×(2×3) / 3=2×2=4

Analogy 5:
It is a complex analogy like:
1/2 of 5 = (5–2)*1 = 3
So, 1/3 of 10 = (10–3)*1 = 7
