@Hero

Answer 3

Is my answer correct ?


Assume that Denise didn't break the vase. Since there are two true statements,based on assumption Joshua statement that Michelle did it is FALSE, since it condtracdicts the other statements. Since Joshua's statement is fals that makes Denise's and Michelle's statement TRUE, leaving nathan statement to be FALSE. Which means either Nathan or joshua broke the vase.

Answer 24

i think there is some problem with ques

Answer 25

Denise and michelles statement are mutual , if one is true then the other will be true ,and if one is false the other will be false ...
so either the top 2 statements are true or bottom two...

Answer 26

now since the top 2 statements contradict each other , they cannot be both true , which means that the bottom two are true , so this leads us to the fact that denise did not break the vase , which is exactly opp of wha t thje ques asked
