Solution:

I have three theories based on which it can be either Murder, Suicide, or Accident.

Case1 : Its a Murder
Reason1: If it's suicide then a person must have waited for the Cigarette to end.
Reason2: Blood is spattered on the right side and the pistol is also on the right side. which seems pistol is planted at the end.

Case2 : Its a Suicide
Reason1. The lamp was switched off and glasses were removed which indicates she done writing(probably suicide note). The murderer does not care about switching off glasses or removing glasses.
Reason2: The blood was just on the wall at the height of a person. If it's a murder the blood must have been scattering around.
Reason3: Burning cigarette and alcohol indicated depression level which often is the reason for suicide.

Case3 : Its a Accident
It's must be an accident. The girl was writing using the pen and suddenly she heard a sound. She must have a gun for safety which she takes out of the security. As a preventive measure, she switched off the light so that she can't be seen in the dark. Also removed the glasses as they are of no use in the dark. After a while, she realized that it's just a sound. So to calm her down she drinks and also lights a cigarette. suddenly she slipped and try to hold stool but failed and forced her head into the wall and died.

Solution:

If we have to measure precisely, it is impossible. Because we are asked to measure odd number of liters whereas all the jars we have can contain only even liters of water.

* Tricky question asked in ias/infosys/infoedge/ibibo interview

Solution:

mother

We know from (3) that the youngest person was not the victim, from (4) that the youngest person was not the helper and from (6) that the youngest person was not the killer. The youngest person can only have been the witness therefore. If we make up a chart there are now three possible combinations:

Oldest person (father) H H M

Next to oldest (mother) V M H

Next to youngest (son) M V V

Youngest (daughter) W W W

(H = Helper ; V = Victim ; M = Murderer ; W = Witness)

We can work out from (5) that the father was the oldest, from (2) that the youngest person must have been the daughter. Therefore the next to the youngest must have been the son and the next to the oldest, the mother.

Solution:

The young lady was presented with a bill which belonged to the elderly woman. She had asked the waiter to collect the bill from her daughter.

Solution:

The woman told him to take out one nut each from the rest of the wheels and use them.

Solution:

The first step that they will take will be a leap of logic. What it means is that they will deduce that every color must appear twice at least. Why? Because the master logician has assured them that the puzzle will not be impossible for anyone of them. And if a color appears only once in the circle, the person wearing it will have no clue about that color which will not be fair for him.

Then the logicians will follow the same and look for all the colors of hats in the circle. If one of them sees a color just once, he can safely assume that he is also wearing the hat of the same color as by leap of logic, no color can appear just once. Thus when the bell is rung, he will leave.

In the similar fashion, if anyone sees another color just once, he can determine that he is wearing the hat of the same color and will leave when the bell rings or will be disqualified and sent home. Unvaryingly, if a color is seen twice, they will be eliminated after the first bell. Hence, there must be at least three hats of any of the remaining color.

Assume that you are sitting in the circle and you don’t see a color once but see it twice. Then if they were the only two hats of the same color, the logicians must have left at the first bell already. But they did not. Which means that there are three hats of that color and you are wearing one. Thus you will leave after the second bell.

Solution:

There are 3 fruits (1 grapes, 1 apples, and 1 oranges).

Solution:

I + IX = X

The equation read from the other side becomes X = XI + I which is false.

Solution:

Steps:
1) Light fire on first bar from both the ends and second bar from one end.

2) After 30 seconds(when first bar gets completely burned out) , burn the second bar from second end as well.

3) When second run completely gets burned , you know its 45 seconds.

Solution:

16-days

In 15-days, he will climb 15-inch and when he climbs 5 inch more, he will be out of the well :-)
