Code mapping of object names: “If table is called chair, chair is called cot, cot is called pot, and pot is called filter, where does a person sit?”

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Cot

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
This is a word-code mapping puzzle. Common objects are renamed. You must answer using the new code names while preserving the original real-world action: a person normally sits on a chair.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Real action: people sit on a chair.
  • Renamings: table → chair; chair → cot; cot → pot; pot → filter.


Concept / Approach:
Translate the target object (the real “chair”) into its new coded label using the mapping. The question is not asking “What is a chair called in reality?” but rather “Under the new naming system, which word corresponds to the real object where one sits?”


Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Identify the real object: CHAIR (the thing we sit on). 2) Apply the code mapping: “chair is called cot.” 3) Therefore, under the code, one would say they sit on a “cot.”


Verification / Alternative check:
Double-check the mapping order to ensure we converted the target (real chair) and not any other object.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Chair” is the old (real) label; the coded label for that object is “cot.” “Pot” and “filter” are labels for other remapped objects; “stool” never appears in the mapping.


Common Pitfalls:
Mistaking the first mapping (table → chair) to mean we should sit on “chair.” The target is the real chair, not table.


Final Answer:
Cot
