Select the option that is related to the fifth term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and the fourth term is related to the third term.
FLIGHT : GHIFLT :: PERIOD : IORPED :: GARLIC : ?

  1. A
    LIRGCA
  2. B
    LIRGAC
  3. C
    RILACG
  4. D
    RILAGC

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's trace the positional rearrangements of letters in each pair:
FLIGHT → GHIFLT
Let's number the positions of letters in FLIGHT from 1 to 6:

F
1


L
2


I
3


G
4


H
5


T
6


The coded word GHIFLT rearranges them into positions:

G
4


H
5


I
3


F
1


L
2


T
6


So, the arrangement pattern of indices is: (4,5,3,1,2,6).

PERIOD → IORPED

P
1


E
2


R
3


I
4


O
5


D
6


Applying the (4,5,3,1,2,6) pattern:

4th letter → I

5th letter → O

3rd letter → R

1st letter → P

2nd letter → E

6th letter → D
This gives IORPED, which matches perfectly.

GARLIC → ?

G
1


A
2


R
3


L
4


I
5


C
6


Applying the pattern (4,5,3,1,2,6):

4th letter → L

5th letter → I

3rd letter → R

1st letter → G

2nd letter → A

6th letter → C
This yields LIRGAC.

Hence, the correct option is B.
