Test Level 2: Binary Logic - Question 1

Who among the three always tells the truth?

Detailed Solution: Question 1

Let us look at the first statement of Gerald - "Leslie is the truth-teller". This statement implies that Gerald is not the truth-teller as there is only one truth-teller, and if Leslie is the truth-teller, then Gerald cannot be the truth-teller.
Thus, Gerald can either be an alternator or liar.  ......(1)
Let us see the first statement of Leslie - "Gerald is not the alternator". If Leslie is the truth-teller, then Gerald will be a liar, in which case Leslie cannot be the truth-teller.    ......(2)
From (1) and (2), Samuel should be the truth-teller. Now, Leslie can either be the liar or the alternator.
Case (i)
If Leslie is an alternator, his first statement would be true and second statement would be false, and both the statements of Gerald would be false. Hence, it is a possible case. In such a case, the buses of each of the people cannot be determined.
Case (ii)
If Leslie is a liar, both his statements would be false, and the first statement of Gerald would be false and his second statement would be true. As there are no contradictions, this is also a possible case.
In this case, Gerald would be coming from City-B, Samuel would be coming from City-A and Leslie would be coming from City-C.
Hence, Samuel is the truth-teller.

In this case, Gerald would be coming from City-B, Samuel would be coming from City-A and Leslie would be coming from City-C.
As seen above, the city from which the alternator is coming cannot be determined.

Who among the following lives in the bunglow?

Detailed Solution: Question 5

It is known that Harold lives in the villa, which means that the 2nd statement made by Owen must be true, whereas the 2nd statement made by Harold must be false. As Roger says that he and Adrian both live in the bunglow, Roger cannot be the person who always speaks the truth, as each person lives in exactly one type of house and exactly one type of house is occupied by one friend. This means only Adrian can always speak the truth, as there must be at least one person who always speaks the truth.

Which train coach is Hugh travelling in?

Detailed Solution: Question 13

 Let Henry be the truth-teller. From Henry's first statement, Daniel is not the alternator. Hence, Daniel must be the liar. As per Henry's second statement, Henry must be travelling in Coach-B because he is the truth-teller.
Since Daniel is a liar, from his first statement, the alternator is not travelling in Coach-C. Hence, the alternator must be travelling in Coach-A. The liar must be travelling in Coach-C. In this case, Hugh must be the alternator. Hugh's second statement is false and first statement is true. Hence, this is one possible case.
