OILS : UNLS :: PAIN : PKDT :: QUIK : ?
Option 1: MLXU
Option 2: MKXV
Option 3: MLYV
Option 4: MKXU
Correct Answer: MKXU
Solution :
Given:
OILS : UNLS :: PAIN : PKDT :: QUIK : ?
Add the consecutive natural numbers, in decreasing order (starting from 4) to the place value of the first three letters and 2 to the place value of the fourth letter of OILS and PAIN, and then reverse the order of the letters to get the required code.
OILS→O + 4 = S; I + 3 = L; L + 2 = N; S + 2 = U→SLNU
Now, reverse the order of the letters, SLNU→UNLS
So, OILS is related to UNLS.
PAIN→P + 4 = T; A + 3 = D; I + 2 = K; N + 2 = P→TDKP
Now, reverse the order of the letters, TDKP→PKDT
So, PAIN is related to PKDT.
Similarly, follow the same patter for QUIK→Q + 4 = U; U + 3 = X; I + 2 = K; K + 2 = M→UXKM
Now, reverse the order of the letters, UXKM→MKXU
So, QUIK is related to MKXU. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
