Select the option that follows the same pattern: GAVE : AGEV :: KEPT : EKTP :: ACID : ?

1. CIAD
2. CAID
3. ACDI
4. CADI

Correct answer: CAID

Solution

Pattern: swap the first two letters, keep the last two unchanged. GAVE: swap G and A => AGEV (last two V,E unchanged... wait: G-A-V-E => A-G-E-V). Actually: position 1 and 2 swap (G,A->A,G), positions 3,4 stay (V,E). So AGVE? But given is AGEV. Let me re-examine: GAVE(1234)=G,A,V,E -> AGEV: A=pos2, G=pos1, E=pos4, V=pos3. Pattern: 2,1,4,3. KEPT: K,E,P,T -> E,K,T,P = EKTP. ACID: A,C,I,D -> C,A,D,I = CADI.
