Two twins have certain peculiar characteristics. One of them always lies on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The other always lies on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. On the other days they tell the truth. You are given a conversation.
Person A-- today is Sunday my name is Anil
Person B -- today is Tuesday, my name is Bill
what day is today?
Read Solution (Total 12)
-
- Today is Tuesday.
Since {Monday, Wednesday,Friday} and {Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday} don't intersect, always one is lying and the other telling the truth except for Sunday when both are telling the truth.
Suppose today is in fact Sunday so A is telling the truth but B isn't. Contradiction (As on Sunday both tell the truth).
So today can't be Sunday therefore it is Tuesday. - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(40) No(3)

- Assume Today is Sunday. Then Both Person A and Person B are telling Truth. But it means Today is Sunday and Tuesday which can't be true. So Today is not Sunday.
But Person A is telling Today is Sunday. So Person A is lying. If person A is lying That implies Person B is telling Truth according to Question.
