DETAILS : TEDASLI :: EMPATHY : PMEAYHT :: FORMULA : ? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ROFMALU.

The logic used here is:

DETAILS : TEDASLI

DETAILS is divided into 2 parts DET and AILS. 

DET is written as TED (3rd letter, 2nd letter, 1st letter), and AILS is written as ASLI (1st letter, 4th letter, 3rd letter, 2nd letter).

EMPATHY : PMEAYHT

EMPATHY is divided into 2 parts EMP and ATHY. 

EMP is written as PME (3rd letter, 2nd letter, 1st letter) and ATHY is written as AYHT (1st letter, 4th letter, 3rd letter, 2nd letter).

Similarly,

FORMULA : ?

FORMULA can be divided into 2 parts FOR and MULA. 

FOR can be written as ROF (3rd letter, 2nd letter, 1st letter) and MULA can be written MALU (1st letter, 4th letter, 3rd letter, 2nd letter).

FORMULA : ROFMALU

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
