Question

If 'water' is called 'food', 'food' is called 'tree', 'tree' is called 'sky', and 'sky' is called 'wall', then on which of the following does a 'fruit' grow?

• A. Water
• B. Food
• C. Tree
• D. Sky

Hint:

First find the real answer without any code, then substitute in the code word for that real answer.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Build a simple two column table of real word to code word first, then just look up the answer instead of applying the code step by step.

1. Water: in the code, 'water' stands for 'food', which is not what a fruit grows on, so this option is wrong.
2. Food: in the code, 'food' stands for 'tree', not the surface a fruit grows on, so this option is wrong.
3. Tree: in the code, 'tree' stands for 'sky', so calling the answer 'tree' skips the actual code substitution, making this option wrong.
4. Sky: the real fact is that fruit grows on a tree, and the table shows 'tree' is coded as 'sky', so the coded answer is 'sky', matching this option.

The lookup table quickly shows only 'sky' lines up with the real word 'tree'.

Let's summarize:

• Start from the plain, real world fact: fruit grows on a tree.
• Use the table of real word to code word to find what 'tree' becomes.
• Only the coded version of 'tree', which is 'sky', answers the question correctly.

So a fruit grows on 'sky' according to this code.
