I said, "At least one of you is right and at least one of you is wrong." What is the color of my horse if the color is one of the above?

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Allan says 'not black', Brian says 'brown or gray', Charlie says 'brown'. At least one is right and at least one is wrong. If it's brown, Allan (not black) and Charlie (brown) would both be right, but only Brian would be wrong - this satisfies 'at least one right, one wrong'. However, if it's gray, Allan (not black) is right, Brian (brown or gray) is right, Charlie (brown) is wrong. This also satisfies the condition. But if it's black, Allan would be wrong, Charlie would be wrong, and only Brian would be wrong - giving 0 correct, violating 'at least one right'. So gray is the correct answer, which matches option C.

To solve this question, let's analyze the statements made by each gentleman:

  1. Mr. Yellow says, "Did you notice that the color of our ties are different from our names?" This means that Mr. Yellow is not wearing a yellow tie.

  2. The person wearing the green tie says, "Yes, you are right!" This means that Mr. Green is not wearing a green tie.

From these statements, we can conclude the following:

  • Mr. Yellow is not wearing a yellow tie.
  • Mr. Green is not wearing a green tie.

Now let's analyze the options:
