Q.55.

[Manish Salian]

Just in case you happened to click on this link first, let me inform you that there are two more questions (Q.57 and Q.56) waiting for you at the other link!

Here is the question for Monday:

Q.55.

Between Rishabh and Robin, one of them lies on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. While the other one lies on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. (we don't know who follows what pattern). But both speak the truth on other days of the week!

On a particular day, the following conversation took place:

Rishabh: I lie on Saturdays.

Robin: I will lie tommorow.

Rishabh: I lie on Sundays.

Can you tell me, on which day of the week did the conversation take place?

Anil, a rather simple question by your standards. Let me find out whether you can get the answers before others!

This may not require you much time. Never-the-less, the deadline is Tuesday midnight!

Regards,

Manish sir

Hello Sir!

I guess the answer for Q55 is 'Wednesday'.. where if Rushabh lies on wednesday, the statement that he lies on saturday and sunday stand false. as he lies, it is correct and..
Robin would lie on thursday n says the thuth on wednesday..n thus his statement that he wud lie tomorrow(thursday), is correct!

Now you tell me sir m i correct!;) or i gotta start my account with a negative point!:(

when do i lie sir ......ye Rishab na hamasha Jooth hi bolta hai mai abhi prove karta hoon.....
for e.g apka question hi la lo na...

;) Sir the ans is Wednesday.....

Because:
Rishab lies on Mon, Tue n Wed --------(1)
and
Robin lies on Thu, Fri n Sat -----------(2)

n on Sunday we both say truth...Holiday hai na donoko...;)
--------(from 1 n 2)



Had the statement be made on Mon or tue...

then 1st statemnt is F ---------(from 1)

2nd satmnt has to be true.......but it contradicts...it means robin will lie on tue or wed but thats is false3rd statement is false as it is -------( from 1 n we know he does not lie on sunday)

so if the statemen is mabe on Wed....

then statement 1 n 3 is F

st 2 is T...since Robin will lie on Thu

So it has to be Wednesday.....

had it been the other way round..Rishab lies on Thu, fri n sat then it means Robin says trurh on these days n its imposible, the 2nd statemen will always contradict.....even if the statement is made on fri them st: 1 n 3 is false n 2 is true then Robin cant lie on Sun.

Ha ha ha....Points...
n sir u should give me atleast 1 point for that Old mans Bday quest sir...kitna innovative aur some what logically correct ans that if he said this at the age of 97,98, 99 .....right na sir ;)

Thank u
Robin

Good show Ankita! So you have opened your account (and that too in style)!

The answer is indeed 'Wednesday'!

So, Anikita gets 5 points, while Robin gets 2 points (I am awaiting answer to your logic question, Robin)!

Since both Robin and Rishabh speak the truth on Sunday, Rishabh's last statement that "I lie on Sunday's" is actually a lie. So it must have happened on a day when Rishabh lies.

On this day Robin, must speak the truth! And he says "I will lie tommorow!". So, it must be the last day of the week when Robin speaks the truth (since he would be lying the next day).

This day can be a Wednesday or a Sunday! Since it can't be a Sunday (as both should be speaking the truth on Sunday), it is indeed a Wednesday!

But, Robin when you submitted the answer, were you lying or speaking the truth? Since, you gave the answer on a Monday, you must be speaking the truth I guess! :)

Manish sir
