In a certain code language, Bihar is coded as Uttar Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh is coded as Punjab, Punjab is coded as Assam, Assam is coded as Goa, Goa is coded as Bangalore and Bangalore is coded as Sikkim. Then in which state was an AIIMS inaugurated recently by the Prime Minister of India?

Answer

Punjab

Why?

The Correct answer is Option 2. Key Points Let’s analyze the code language and the question carefully: Given coding: Bihar → Uttar Pradesh Uttar Pradesh → Punjab Punjab → Assam Assam → Goa Goa → Bangalore Bangalore → Sikkim The question asks: “In which state was an AIIMS inaugurated recently by the Prime Minister of India?” The recent AIIMS inauguration was in Bihar. Now, according to the code, Bihar is coded as Uttar Pradesh. So, in the code language, Bihar is represented as Uttar Pradesh. Since Bihar is coded as Uttar Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh is coded as Punjab, the code for Bihar is Uttar Pradesh, and the code for Uttar Pradesh is Punjab. If the question is asking for the coded name of the state where AIIMS was inaugurated (which is Bihar), then the code for Bihar is Uttar Pradesh. If the question is asking for the code after one step, the answer is Uttar Pradesh (not in options). If the question is asking for the code after two steps (Bihar → Uttar Pradesh → Punjab), then the answer is Punjab (option 3). Hence the Correct answer is Option 3. Note : As Per Official Answer Key, Option B and C Both are Correct.
