- ANS is THURSDAY

- yesterday was WEDNESDAY
as on thursday c lies but b does not lies on thursday
means B is telling the truth to A as B lies on wednesday so today he is true
but the other fellow c lies on today but not on wednesday so he is lying.
.................now let us discuss how WEDNESDAY would be the answer????
B lies on-->>monday,tuesday,wednesday
B doesnot lies on-->>thursday,friday,sat,sun
C lies on-->>thurs,fri,sat
C doesnot lies on-->>sun,mon,tues,wed
now considering ur answer let there was thursday yesterday than on friday B doesnot lies n also on thursday he doesnot lies so there is a contradiction in the statement similar case is for c....................u may try any of the day as yesterday except wednesday u would conclude similar conclusions n the contradiction persists
so yesterday could not b anyother day except WEDNESDAY
