A, B, C and D are seated in four adjacent seats. They make the following statements.
A : I am not in the third position.
B : I am in the second or third position.
C : I am in the first position.
D : I am in the fourth position.
If three of them are speaking the truth and one of them is lying, who is in the fourth position?

• ANSWER: A or D or may be a Dummy question. Because if we consider D as lying and A,B,C saying truth, then A is in fourth position. Other than that condition, for all other condition D is in fourth position. PROOF: Possible seat combinations are 1)if A is lying-CBAD 2)if C is lying- ABCD(or)ACBD 3)if D is lying-CDBA(or)CBDA 4)if B is lying- u cant come into a seating conclusion and conditions overlap. so A or D or Dummy question...

• D is in fourth position
  A might be false
  So C occupies 1st position
  B occupies 2nd position
  A occupies 3rd position(As A is false & says its not in 3rd so its in 3rd)
  D occupies 4th position
  Now all the conditions are satisfied
