Question

If the ‘cook’ is called ‘butler’, ‘butler’ is called ‘manager’, ‘manager’ is called ‘teacher’, ‘teacher’ is called ‘clerk’, and ‘clerk’ is called ‘principal’, who will teach in the class?

• A. Cook
• B. Butler
• C. Manager
• D. Clerk

Hint:

In such puzzles, focus on the chain of roles and how each position is interchanged to identify the right answer.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

In the given sequence, the teacher is called a clerk, and the clerk is referred to as a principal. So, since the teacher's role is transferred to the clerk, the clerk will teach in the class.

Answer 2

We are given a chain of reassignments of labels for different roles:

- ‘cook’ → called ‘butler’
- ‘butler’ → called ‘manager’
- ‘manager’ → called ‘teacher’
- ‘teacher’ → called ‘clerk’
- ‘clerk’ → called ‘principal’

The question asks: Who will teach in the class?

To solve this, we need to find the actual profession that is being referred to as a "teacher" based on the given naming chain.

From the mapping:
‘manager’ is called ‘teacher’ → So, the person who actually performs the job of a manager is now called a teacher.
But we want to know who actually does the job of a teacher (i.e., who teaches in class).

From the mapping:
‘teacher’ is called ‘clerk’ → So, the person who actually teaches is now called a clerk.

Conclusion:
The person who teaches in the class is actually called a Clerk.
