If the following four statements are presented, then which of them is true? (a) The number of false statements here is one. (b) The number of false statements here is two. (c) The number of false statements here is three. (d) The number of false statements here is four.
Show Hint
Test each statement individually in a self-referential question like this to find logical consistency.
The key to solving this problem is to test each statement:
- If (c) is true (meaning 3 statements are false), then it would create a contradiction because the number of false statements must match.
Thus, (c) is true, and the rest are false.
