UPSC 1999: On another planet, the local terminology for earth, water, light, air and sky are ‘sky’, ‘light’, ‘air’, ‘water’ and ‘earth’ respectively. If someone is thirsty there, what would he drink?
(a)Sky
(b)Water
(c)Air
(d)Light
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Light
On that planet the word ‘water’ is called “light”. A thirsty person wants water, so he would ask for “light”. The other options correspond to different terrestrial elements (e.g., their ‘air’ is called “water”), so they are incorrect.
