Esha Is the Right answer. Because Chitra is lying. and if the chitra is correct then this is a very simple question and can be solved by a student of 2nd standard as well. So Esha is saying that her No. Is not the smallest one. but rest are saying that our number is not the largest and not the smallest. that's y Esha Is the right option.

lets have the positions of largest to smallest from 1to5
Case 1:
Assume A-false
so A must be in 1 or 5
then B must be in 2 or 3 or 4
C must be in 1 so A in 5
but D's statement contradicts with our assumption, so its wrong

CASE 2:
Assume B-false
A- 2or3or4
B- 1 or 5 (since false)
C- 1 so B-5
Similarly D's statement contradicts with B's, so wrong

CASE 3:
Assume C-false
A- 2 or 3 or 4
B- 2 or 3 or 4
C- 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 (since false)
D- 5 so C- 2 or 3 or 4
E - 1 or 2 or 3 or 4, since there are already A,B,C in 2 or 3 or 4 ,
E must be in 1. This satisfies.

Lets try for the remaining 2 cases too
CASE 4:
Assume D- false
A- 2 or 3 or 4
B - 2 or 3 or 4
C - 1
D- 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 (since false) but already C- 1 so 2 or 3 or 4
Now only left out is 5th place but it contradicts with E's statement , so wrong

CASE 5:
Assume E - false
A- 2 or 3 or 4
B- 2 or 3 or 4
C - 1
D- 5
E's statement is false which means E is the smallest
but already D-5 so this is also wrong

The only case that satisfies is CASE 3

Hence EESHA has the largest number

Ans.a. EEsha

Largest -> A B C D E
A F T/F T/F T/F T/F
B T/F F T/F T/F T/F
C F F T F F
D T/F T/F T/F F T/F
E T/F T/F T/F T/F T

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No   

SOMESH SANJAY GOLAIT  (6 years ago)

Ans: A
Largest -> A B C D E
A F T/F T/F T/F T/F
B T/F F T/F T/F T/F
C F F T F F
D T/F T/F T/F F T/F
E T/F T/F T/F T/F T

From the above table, If we assume that A has the largest then A and C both are lying. Similarly if we find the truthfullness of the remaining people, it is clear that E has the largest and C lied. (Only one F in the last column)
