Directions: Pick the correct options from the given alternatives
SIKIM:MIKIS::LADAK:?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given alternative:
SIKIM: MIKIS :: LADAK: ?
Relationship between SIKIM and MIKIS:
The pattern is that the word has been completely reversed:
Last letter (M) becomes first.
Second to last (I) becomes second.
Middle (K) stays middle.
Second (I) becomes fourth.
First (S) becomes last.
Now, apply the same 'reverse the letters' logic to LADAK:
L (1st) - Move to 5th
A (2nd) - Move to 4th
D (3rd) - Move to 3rd
A (4th) - Move to 2nd
K (5th) - Move to 1st
LADAK backwards gives you KADAL.
Hence, the correct answer is option (2).
