• chitra is ans because.....ahmed and bablu have same statement so it can't be false......if we say.eesha is saying lie...then..eeha's no is smallest which contadicts with david....so chita s lying

• 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.

• a.eesha
  because only esha says my number is not smallest i.e. largest
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 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

• Ans-a eesha
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 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)
