Answer 3

C looks beter than D

Answer 4

*better

Answer 5

what does interdiminate means >

Answer 6

Assume Suyash is type Y
`Suyash says "I am type Y"`. If Suyash is indeed type Y, then Suyash is lying. So that means Suyash is type X. But we have a problem. If Suyash is type X, then this person cannot lie. If this person was type X, then they would have to say they are type X. This assumption that Suyash is type Y leads to a contradiction.




Assume Suyash is type X
if Suyash is type X, then Suyash can't lie. Suyash lies though when this person says they are type Y. So this leads to a contradiction. It is impossible to determine what type of person (either X or Y) Suyash is.


Consequently, this means Divyansh is also impossible to figure out too.


So I'd say either (c) Indeterminate or (d) None of these. I'm not sure which is more appropriate

Answer 7

@mathmath333 Indeterminate - not precise/ambiguous nature

Answer 8

yeah I agree. Indeterminate is probably the proper answer

Answer 9

does option c.) means both cases are possible

Answer 10

ok thnks

Answer 11

no it just means that it's impossible to figure out. Like @rishavraj is saying: it's unclear and ambiguous

Answer 12

the question seems wrong as the statement is not according to the question
because if you assume Suyash to be X or Y then half of the statement is correct and other half is not.
so basically Suyash does not belong to that particular island
we use indeterminate when the given info is not sufficient
and i think that lets just say that suyash is not an inhabitant of that island because his statement proves that he is neither X nor Y and thus we donno any thing about divyansh so he can be either X or Y or maybe not an inhabitat of that island
so here the info is less and i'd go with C
but i can definitely say that answer is not A
