- 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 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(0)
- 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 " - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
