Question

In each of the following questions, a word is transformed by rearranging its letters according to a specific pattern. Apply the same pattern to the third word and choose the correct answer from the given alternatives. EXCUSE: CXEESU :: ERODES : ?

• A. OREESD
• B. ORESED
• C. REOSDE
• D. ERODSE

Answer 1

Answer:

B. ORESED

Identify the rearrangement pattern:

EXCUSE → CXEESU

EXCUSE = E X C U S E

Rearranged as:

• First three letters reversed: E X C → C X E

• Last three letters reversed: U S E → E S U

So the pattern is (3,2,1,6,5,4).

Apply the same pattern to ERODES:

ERODES = E R O D E S

• First three letters reversed: E R O → O R E

• Last three letters reversed: D E S → S E D

Result: ORESED

Answer: ORESED
