- From statement 1 we can infer two possible sequence of arrival of murderer:-
a)visitor murderer visitor and
b)visitor visitor murderer
From statement 2 we can again infer two possible sequence of arrival of detective:-
a)visitor detective visitor and
b)visitor visitor detective
From statement 5 we can deduce that 1st arrival is not detective and from statement 6 last arrival is not murderer thus combining both possible sequences we get the final sequence as
>-visitor murderer and detective(both) visitor
Also combining statement 3rd and 4th we get that detective and murderer(which are both same)arrived at midnight and Aditya and Vijay do not arrive after midnight so last visitor has to be Puneet
Taking again 5th and 6th statement earlier(1st) arrival has to be Vijay now so 2nd arrival is Aditya
so Final sequence is Vijay(visitor) Aditya(Murderer and detective) Puneet(Visitor)
