Person 2 says its Monday or Saturday. Person 3 says its Tuesday or Friday. And person 4 says its Thursday or Wednesday. What is the day today? Correct Answer Wednesday
Given,
- Two persons give one right answer and one wrong answer.
- Two persons give both answers wrong.
⇒ Thus, the day which is common in the answer of any two persons and also that day should not be answered by remaining two persons (who gave only wrong answers) would be the day today.
Tabulating the given information-
