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 fourth term is related to third term.
UNLIKE : ENILKU :: FLOWER : RLWOEF :: CAVITY : ?

  1. A
    YTVIAC
  2. B
    YTVCAI
  3. C
    YTVICA
  4. D
    YAIVTC

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's trace how the letters are permuted by assigning indices to the original string positions (1,2,3,4,5,6):
For UNLIKE → ENILKU:

U(1), N(2), L(3), I(4), K(5), E(6)

The output is E(6), N(2), I(4), L(3), K(5), U(1) -> No, let's look at the reversal pattern:

Notice that ENILKU is constructed by taking the last letter, then reversing the inner part or similar:
Let's see:
The last letter 'E' comes to the first position. The first letter 'U' goes to the last position.
What about the inside letters "NLIK"? They are written in backward order as "NILK"? No, "NLIK" backwards is "KILN".
Let's re-examine:
Original: U N L I K E
Code: E N I L K U
Positions rearranged:
E(6), N(2), I(4), L(3), K(5), U(1)

Let's see if this matches FLOWER → RLWOEF:

F(1), L(2), O(3), W(4), E(5), R(6)

Applying the positional transformation: 6,2,4,3,5,1

Position 6: R

Position 2: L

Position 4: W

Position 3: O

Position 5: E

Position 1: F

Result: RLWOEF. This is a perfect match!

Now, let's apply this exact mapping pattern (6,2,4,3,5,1) to CAVITY:

C(1), A(2), V(3), I(4), T(5), Y(6)

Position 6: Y

Position 2: A

Position 4: I

Position 3: V

Position 5: T

Position 1: C

The resulting cluster is YAIVTC.
