    Hey bro , Here is what I had tried.

    Detect all cycles and keep track of all cycles where each node in cycle is given node no.

    then for node x in query , if x is already part of some cycle then it's very easy to ans. the kth node.

    but for case where node isn't part of any cycle , I tried binary lifting on inverted tree (in which edge causing cycles are erased.) FOR THIS CASE , I am unable to code.

      I was thinking on exactly same line. Though a pure binary lifting approach works.
