Q. In the following question, there is a certain relationship between two given words on one side and one word is given on the other side, while another word is to be found from the given options, having the same relation with this word as the words of the given pair bear. Choose the correct option to replace the ?

Milk : Emulsion :: Butter : ?

(A) Aerosol

(B) Suspension

(C) Sol

(D) Gel

Answer: (D) Gel

Step 1: Recall the concept of colloids.

  • Milk is an emulsion, since fat droplets are dispersed in water.
  • Butter is also a colloid but of a different type.

Step 2: Identify the type for butter.

  • In butter, tiny water droplets are dispersed in solid fat.
  • This type of colloid is called a Gel, i.e., liquid dispersed in solid.

Step 3: Match with options:

  • (A) Aerosol → gas dispersed in liquid/solid   \(\times\)
  • (B) Suspension → not a colloid, unstable mixture   \(\times\)
  • (C) Sol → solid dispersed in liquid   \(\times\)
  • (D) Gel → liquid dispersed in solid   \(\checkmark\)

Therefore,

\[ \text{Milk : Emulsion :: Butter : Gel} \]

Quick Reference Table of Colloids:

Colloid Type Dispersed Phase Dispersion Medium Example
Sol Solid Liquid Paints, Mud water
Emulsion Liquid Liquid Milk, Mayonnaise
Gel Liquid Solid Butter, Jelly
Aerosol Solid/Liquid Gas Smoke, Fog
