Question
Read the following information carefully and answer the question
You want to expand your horizons and decide to go to the village of "Where is Who" which is deep inside the island. You come to the border of "Kya Kya" and see a road sign. One leads to the left and the other right. There are no other roads. You ask the inhabitants.
Maroof: I do not speak to strangers. I am new to these parts.
Nafish: Take the road to the right. I am married to Ayesha.
Ayesha : I am not Nafish's wife. Maroof is not new to these parts.
Which one of the following is true?
Options
The road to the right leads to "Where is Who".
The road to the left leads to "Where is Who".
Nafish is married to Ayesha
None of the above
Solution
The road to the right leads to "Where is Who."
Explanation:
We will check the truthness of each of the statements of each person. Suppose, the first statement of Nafish is true and the second is false. Then, they take road to the right, and Nafish is not married to Ayesha.
Now, from this it is clear that the first statement of Ayesha is true i.e. Ayesha is not married to Nafish is true. So, the second statement of Ayesha becomes false. Now, it is clear that the second statement of Maroof i.e. I am new to these parts is true. Therefore, the first statement of Maroof becomes false.
Hence, from the option, The road to the right leads to "Where is who", is true.
