Shahrukh speaks truth only in the morning and lies in the afternoon, whereas Salman
speaks truth only in the afternoon. A says that B is Shahrukh. Is it morning or afternoon and
who is A - Shahrukh or Salman?

• The answer is wrong on almost all the websites. Answer is ofcourse Afternoon, but A can be either Shahrukh or Salman. Here is the complete solution:
  A says B is Shahrukh.
  
  Assume it is morning,
  
  Case I: A is actually Shahrukh. He always speaks truth in morning. NOT POSSIBLE.
  
  Case II: A is actually Salman. He always lies in morning. NOT POSSIBLE
  
  Assume it is afternoon,
  
  Case I: A is actually Shahrukh. He always lies in the afternoon and thus says B is Shahrukh. POSSIBLE.
  
  Case II: A is actually Salman. He always speaks truth in the afternoon. POSSIBLE.
  
  Therefore, it is afternoon and A can be either Shahrukh or Salman

• i think its afternoon n A is Salman.bcoz if its morning and A is shahrukh,then "b is shahrukh" statement will b invalid,cz it wud b a lie then.so,obviously its afternoon n a is salman,n he is speaking the truth.

• Whatever Ashish has said is right , but just to get the solution we need to think that " One person will tell about the other person " i.e A will tell about B and B will tell about A . So if we think like that
  " A is Salman and he tells that B is Sharukh in the afternoon "
