RAMA : MARA :: SITA : _______
Analogy Pattern Identification
The question presents a letter cluster analogy: RAMA : MARA :: SITA : _______.
We need to determine the relationship between the first pair (RAMA : MARA) and apply it to the second pair (SITA : ?).
Analyzing the First Pair: RAMA to MARA
Let's represent the letters of RAMA by their positions:
- R (1), A (2), M (3), A (4)
Now let's look at the letters in MARA:
- M (3), A (2), R (1), A (4)
Comparing the positions, the pattern is: The letter at position 1 moves to position 3, and the letter at position 3 moves to position 1. The letters at positions 2 and 4 remain unchanged.
The transformation rule is: 1 2 3 4 → 3 2 1 4
Applying the Pattern to SITA
Let's identify the positions of the letters in SITA:
- S (1), I (2), T (3), A (4)
Applying the derived pattern (3 2 1 4) to SITA:
- Position 3: T
- Position 2: I
- Position 1: S
- Position 4: A
Combining these letters in the new order gives: TISA
Conclusion
Therefore, the missing term for the second pair is TISA, which corresponds to Option D.

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g., 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13, can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
