    yes. Analogy b and quant also b. Spider and octopus use their outer organs for food and one is land-living and the other is water-living. In rest of the answers one or the other of these two analogy fails. in quant, the work is worth 1800 man hours and hence they need to work for 9 hours per day for 200 mandays.

    i got the quant answer. can you tell me how did you get the analogy. for the quant, i made the equation that m1r1d1=m2r2d2, where m is the no. of men to complete the job, r is the rate at which each man worked, and d is the days taken to complete the job. the numbers are the subscripts. is this correct?
