Shahrukh speaks truth only in the morning and lies in the afternoon, whereas Salman speaks truth only in the afternoon. A says that B is Shahrukh. Is it morning or afternoon and who is A - Shahrukh or Salman?
-
Afternoon.A is Shahrukh
-
Afternoon.Bis Salman.
-
Morningn.A is Salman.
-
Afternoon.A is Salman.
In the afternoon, Salman tells truth while Shahrukh lies. If A is Salman ( truthful) and says 'B is Shahrukh', then B must indeed be Shahrukh. This scenario is logically consistent: A=Salman tells truth, B=Shahrukh lies. In the morning, the truth-telling patterns reverse (Shahrukh truthful, Salman lies), but the afternoon scenario uniquely satisfies the conditions.
To answer this question, let's analyze the given information:
- Shahrukh speaks truth only in the morning and lies in the afternoon.
- Salman speaks truth only in the afternoon.
According to the given information, A says that B is Shahrukh. Based on this statement, we need to determine the time of day and the identity of A.
Let's evaluate each option:
Option A) Afternoon. A is Shahrukh - This option is incorrect because Shahrukh lies in the afternoon, and A says that B is Shahrukh. Therefore, A must be lying, which contradicts the given information that Shahrukh only speaks truth in the morning.
Option B) Afternoon. B is Salman - This option is incorrect because it does not provide any information about A's identity or the time of day.
Option C) Morning. A is Salman - This option is incorrect because it contradicts the given information that Salman only speaks truth in the afternoon.
Option D) Afternoon. A is Salman - This option is correct because it aligns with the given information. Salman speaks truth only in the afternoon, and A says that B is Shahrukh. Since A is telling the truth, it implies that B is indeed Shahrukh. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
In conclusion, the correct answer is option D. The time of day is afternoon, and A is Salman.
