Appeared in: DHS 2018 shift 1st

Explanation

  • The question requires finding the coded name for the color of the sky.
  • In reality, the color of the sky is blue.
  • The problem provides a specific code: 'blue' is called 'pink'.
  • Therefore, by applying the given code to the real-world fact, the answer is 'pink'.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

  • Option A: This is incorrect because the code states that 'green' is called 'white'. The sky is not green.
  • Option B: This is the actual color of the sky, but the question asks for its name in the coded language. The code explicitly renames 'blue' to 'pink'.
  • Option D: This is incorrect. In the given code, 'yellow' is called 'blue'. The sky is not yellow.

  • This is a general intelligence and reasoning question, not directly related to clinical nursing practice.
  • Logical reasoning skills are essential for nurses in problem-solving, critical thinking, and making sound clinical judgments under pressure.
  • What if the code was different? For example, if 'blue' was called 'green', then the answer would change to 'green', highlighting the importance of carefully reading and applying the specific rules given in any scenario.
