Question

In each of the following questions, a specific pattern such as reversal or rearrangement has been applied to the first word to get the second. Apply the same pattern to the third word and find the correct answer from the given options.

GNIDAER : READING :: NOITULOS : ?

  1. A. SOLUTION (Correct answer)
  2. B. SOLUNOIT
  3. C. NOILOSUT
  4. D. POLLUTION

Correct Answer

Option A — SOLUTION

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is SOLUTION.

Key Points

  • The rule is simple reversal: GNIDAER is READING spelt backwards.
  • Applying the same reversal to NOITULOS gives SOLUTION.
  • Spot reversals by checking whether the second word read right-to-left equals the first; here it does, so the answer is just the third word reversed — the scrambled distractors (SOLUNOIT, NOILOSUT) are traps for anyone who doesn't verify the exact reversal.
