Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : S On analysing the statements: (One is correct and other is wrong.) R ∶ S did not do it. I did not do it. S ∶ I did not do it. P did not do it. If 'S did not do it' is correct then statement of S 'I did not do it' is also correct. This implies that statement of R 'I did not do it' is false and statement 'P did not do it.' is false. This further implies that P and R did it which is not possible. Thus, S is guilty and both the first statements of R and S are false. T ∶ I did not do it. I did not know who did it. Here, first statement is true and second is false. Hence, S is guilty.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : S

On analysing the statements: (One is correct and other is wrong.)

R ∶ S did not do it. I did not do it.

S ∶ I did not do it. P did not do it.

If 'S did not do it' is correct then statement of S 'I did not do it' is also correct. This implies that statement of R 'I did not do it' is false and statement 'P did not do it.' is false. This further implies that P and R did it which is not possible. Thus, S is guilty and both the first statements of R and S are false.

T ∶ I did not do it. I did not know who did it.

Here, first statement is true and second is false.

Hence, S is guilty.
