Question

If laptop is called fan, basket is called laptop, lift is called basket, fan is called book and book is called lift. Which of the following is used to go on the upper floor of the building?

• A. Laptop
• B. Basket
• C. Book
• D. Fan
• E. Lift

Hint:

Ignore the "chain" effect. Even though the problem says "basket is called laptop," it doesn't matter. You only need to look for the phrase "[Real Object] is called [Coded Name]." The substitution is a one-step jump!

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
In substitution coding (also known as "artificial language" coding), objects are assigned new names. To solve these, you first identify the real-world object that satisfies the question's requirement, then find the specific "coded name" assigned to that object in the problem statement.

Step 1: Identify the actual object used to go to an upper floor.
In the real world, a lift (elevator) is used to go to the upper floors of a building.


Step 2: Find the coded name for that object.
According to the problem's rules:
• Laptop $\to$ Fan
• Basket $\to$ Laptop
• Lift $\to$ Basket
• Fan $\to$ Book
• Book $\to$ Lift Since "lift is called basket," the coded answer is basket.
