Solution for find car in box puzzle:
As it is told, only one statement is true. This means the other two should be false. Consider any one of these three statements to be true.
Scenario 1: Car is in A
- A’s statement (“Car is in this box”) → True
- B’s statement (“Car is not in this box”) → True (since car is in A, not in B)
- C’s statement (“Car is not in box A”) → False.
👉 Two statements true (A and B) → ❌ Not valid.
Scenario 2: Car is in B
- A’s statement (“Car is in this box”) → False
- B’s statement (“Car is not in this box”) → False (car IS in B)
- C’s statement (“Car is not in box A”) → True (correct, car is not in A).
👉 Exactly one true (C) → ✅ Valid.
Scenario 3: Car is in C
- A’s statement → False
- B’s statement (“Car is not in this box”) → True (car is in C, not in B)
- C’s statement (“Car is not in A”) → True
👉 Two true → ❌ Not valid.
✅ The only consistent solution is: The car is in Box B. 🚗
