Solution:

Ms. Britney did it.

We will take up every person and analyze the statements over all of them one by one.

Case 1: Ms. Britney did it, then
Statement 1 => true
Statement 2 => false (as Rihanna did not do it)
Statement 3 => false (as Ms. Britney is lying)
Statement 4 => false (as Ms. Gwyneth is lying)
Our first guess itself was right but let us confirm our analysis by analyzing the statements over others.

Case 2: Ms. Rihanna did it, then
Statement 1 => false (as Ms. Britney did not do it)
Statement 2 => true
Statement 3 => true (as Ms. Britney is not lying)
As per the conditions, three statements had to be wrong but here, we have two statements right which clearly contradict the condition.

Case 3: Ms. Gwyneth did it, then
Statement 1 => false (as Ms. Britney did not do it)
Statement 2 => false (as Ms. Rihanna did not do it)
Statement 3 => false (as Ms. Britney is lying)
Statement 4 => false (as Ms. Gwyneth is lying)
She did not do it as all the statements are false.

Case 4: Ms. Yoon did it, then
Statement 1 => false (as Ms. Britney did not do it)
Statement 2 => false (as Ms. Rihanna did not do it)
Statement 3 => false (as Ms. Britney is lying)
Statement 4 => false (as Ms. Gwyneth is lying)
All four statements are false in her case as well thus she did not do it.

Therefore we have proved that Ms. Britney did it.

Solution:

If you are thinking to hold one chocolate from each box in hand and then balancing weight in bare hands, you are thinking all wrong.

Let us begin by labelling boxes as 1, 2, 3 and so on till 10.

Now pick one chocolate from box 1, two chocolates from box 2, three from box 3 and so on. In total, you will have 55 chocolates now. (1 + 2 + 3 + ..... + 10)

The ideal weight of the chocolates should be 55 * 20 = 1100. However, somewhere in there are the defected chocolate/s.

You can judge that clearly by noting down the result of 1100 - total weight of chocolates. If the weight is less than 1 gram, the defected box is box 1, if the weight is less than 2 grams, the defected box is box 2 and so on.

Solution:

It has been clearly stated that none of the two students gave same number of correct answers which leads us to two different possibilities of correct answers:
Either (1 + 2 +3 + 4 + 5 = 15) or (0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10) stands true.

After analyzing the question, the maximum number of correct answers possible with the answers Gerry, Billy, Clark, Peeta and Jonathan gave:
Question 1 = 2 (b or c)
Question 2 = 2 (b or c)
Question 3= 4 (True)
Question 4 = 4 (True)
Question 5 = 3 (True)

Let us first assume with the maximum number of correct answers possible according to our data which are 15 (2+2+4+4+3). According to it, Billy must have given all correct answers as he was the only one who answered True for questions 3, 4 and 5. But in that case, Gerry and Clark must have given exactly three correct answers. Furthermore, Peeta and Jonathan must have given two correct answers. Therefore none of them got all the five correct answers which is wrong according to what we have analyzed.

Thus we move on to our next assumption according to which, the total number of correct answers are 10 (0+1+2+3+4). Now we must acknowledge that Questions 3 as well as Question 4 cannot be False as it will mean that the number of correct answers would not be 10. So the students giving wrong answers cannot be Gerry, Billy and Peeta.

Assume that Jonathan got all wrong, it will suggest that Gerry, Clark and Peeta each would have at least two correct answers. Then, Billy would have to be the person with only one correct answer and in that situation, the correct answers for questions 1 and 2 would be a and a respectively. Since that is not possible as then the total number of correct answers would be 1 (a) + 1 (a) + 1 (False) + 4 (True) + 2 (Flase) = 9.

Thus it must be Clark who has given all wrong answers. The correct answers are then b, a, True, False and False. Also, the scores are Clark (0), Billy (1), Gerry (2), Jonathan (3) and Peeta (4).
