Answer 6

how did u get that?

Answer 7

wel the method i used was to guess and correct

Answer 8

Just use logic and reasoning.

(i) Answer to Q1 cannot be C because there are 4 questions, so if C is answer to question 1 then that invalidates its assertion that all 4 questions have an answer of B.

(ii) If answer to Q1 was B then that impies that 3 questions have an answer of B. Since Q1's answer is B, that leaves 2 other that must have an answer of B. Lets check that. Answer to Q3 would have to be A in this case, which implies answers to Q2 and Q4 must be B. Having B as the answer to Q2 seems to work. Having B as the answer to Q4 works as C is the correct answer to zero questions (therefor the LEAST). So correct solutions are:

Q1 - B
Q2 - B
Q3 - A
Q4 - B

(iii) That just leave us with answer to Q1 being A which implies 2 questions have a answer of B. Lets check that. Answer to Q3 would have to be B in this case. That means either Q2 or Q4 must have an answer of B. Answer to Q2 must be B as at least 2 questions have an answer of B (from Q1). Then answer to Q4 must be A. But that means we have 2 questions with A as the answer and 2 with B as the answer, so number of questions with answer A = number of questions with answer B which breaks the assertions of questions 2 and 4. So these cannot be the correct answer:

Q1 - A
Q2 - B
Q3 - B
Q4 - A
