The id will have first three digits as Key Prefix , like for Account '001' , so get a substring fromID for Key

Step1:

String strID = '001ki0000000KIY';

String key = Split(0 , 3);

Step2:

//Do a Global descibe , and create map of all the object key Prefix

Step3:

Check in map which objects key matches
