The following two questions are based on the information given below:-
The following is the conversation between A, B and C each of whom has different surname among P, Q and R. One of them is lying and two are telling truth.
A :- I am not a Q. C is a P. B is not a R.
B:- I am a R. A is a P. C is a Q.
C:- I am not Q. A is not a P. B is a Q.
Question:
Who is R?
A:
A
B:
C
C:
B
D:
Either A or B
Ans: A
Solution: Consider all 3 cases:
Case 1: A is lying:
A B C
A: Q R not P
B: P R Q
C: not P Q not Q
Statement of B and C contradicts. hence not valid case
Case 2: B is lying:
A B C
A: not Q not R P
B: not P not R not Q
C: not P Q not Q
Valid case A= R ; B = Q; C = P
Case 3: C is lying:
A B C
A: not Q not R P
B: P R Q
C: P not Q Q
A and B are contradicting about B. Not valid case
Hence case 2 is valid only
And A= R ; B = Q; C = P
