Solution for find car in box puzzle:
As it is told, only one statement is true which means other 2 should be false, if you consider any one of these 3 statements to be true.
Scenario1: Let’s assume that statement A is true which means car should be in Box 1.
However, it will also mean that statement B will also become true since that says, car is not in Box B. which means, statement A cannot be True.
Scenario2: Now, let’s assume that statement B is true so, car cannot be in box B.
Since, statement B is true which means statement A should be false meaning car cannot be in box A as well.
Now statement C says, car is not in Box A, since this statement need to be false which means car should be in box A however, above we already confirmed that car cannot be in box A.
Scenario3: Let’s assume that statement C is true, which means car cannot be in box A. This makes statement A false since that claim that car is in box A. Since statement B should be false and it says car is not in box, it confirms that car is actually in box B.
