- Ans: A only
If all suspects are lying then left most is guilty. becuse every one said the the person right to them is guilty.Only the left most person is not mentioned.so he might be guilty.
Or if any one's statement is true then definitely the leftmost is innocent.because he is not mentioned guilty by anyone.
so only one is possible at a time. they are connected with or compound statement. So A only true. In B they used and keyword. both condition cannot occur at a time . So b is not true - 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(47) No(1)
- A only is the answer...consider two cases as two mutually exclusive events..they can't happen together...if all persons are lying then first one must be guilty.thus both can't happen together...so A ONLY IS THE ANSWER....
