It is told that exacly 3 children say truth and one of them has lied. So, there are 4 cases possible:-
Case 1:A lied i.e. G says truth and he finished 4th
Case 2:E lied again G says truth so he is 4th
Case 3:F lied i.e. same as above G says truth so he must be 4th
Case 4: G lied i.e. he did not finished 4th. Now other 3 must be saying truth. so A is not 4th , E is also not 4th and F says he is 1st so he is not 4th..This contradicts the assumption that G lied and others said truth since one of them must be 4th. So, this case is not possible.
Therefore, according to first 3 cases, G must be 4th.

G finished the 4th........
the reason is no one will lie that he has not completed the race ........taking that into consideration
A and E is not lying ......then among F and G,, F is the one speaking the lie....

Ans : G

Hit and trial is used here.
if A is lying then A must be 1st or 4th but F and G are not lying so A cannot be either 1st or 4th. Hence A is not lying

if E is lying : he must have ended as 4th but again G is saying the truth that he ended 4th. hence not possible

if F is lying then he must ve ended 2 or 3rd. this is a possible condition
