A professor gives a set of three questions to the most brilliant students of his university. You can see the questions in the attached image if required. To his surprise, there are different answers by all three of them. Below are the answers by them:
Student A
1. Two
2. Six
3. Two
Student B
1. Two
2. Three
3. Infinity
Student C
1. One
2. Three
3. Two
Now you have the information that each one of them has given one answer wrong, can you find out the real answers to every problem?
Solution:
Since each one of them gave one answer wrong, this means that each one of them gave two answers right.
Let us assume that Student A gave a wrong answer to the first question. This will mean that Student B also gave a wrong answer for the first. This will conclude that the rest of the two answers given by them are correct. However, the answers are different and thus it is not possible.
Thus both Student A and Student B must be right with the first question and the answer to the first is two.
If you keep applying the same logic, you will come to a conclusion that following are the correct answers:
Q1. Two
Q2. Three
Q3. Two
