Question

Late one night, a car ran over a pedestrian in a narrow by street and drove away without stopping.

A policeman who saw the vehicle leave the scene of the accident reported it moving at very high

speed. The accident itself was witnessed by six bystanders. They provided the following

conflicting accounts of what had happened:

- It was a blue car driven by a man;

- The car was moving at high speed and its headlights were turned off;

- The car did have license plates; it wasn’t going very fast;.

- It was a Toyota and its headlights were turned off;

- The car didn’t have license plates; the driver was a woman;

- It was a grey Ford.

When the car and its driver were finally apprehended, it turned out that only one of the six

eyewitnesses gave a fully correct description. Each of the other five provided one true and one false

piece of information. Keeping that in mind, can you determine the following:

a. What was the car’s brand?

b. What was the colour of the car?

c. Was the car going fast or slow?

d. Did it have license plates?

e. Were its headlights turned on?

f. Was the driver a man or a woman?​

Fordb) Bluec) Fastd) Yese) Nof) Woman

Explanation:

• If you believe the police report that the car was moving at a very high speed; then the third viewer statement 3 is incorrect in stating that the car was not speeding.
• So another part of his statement must be true.
• Therefore, the car must have a license plate.
• If your car has a license plate.
• In this case, the first part of statement 5 must be false and the rest true.
• Therefore the driver must be a woman.
• If the driver was female, the second part of statement 1 would be false and part 1 would be true.
• Therefore, the car color should be blue.
• If the car was driving fast, either the entire statement 2 should be true or the second part should be false.
• Suppose the second part of statement 2 is false.
• Then the second part of statement 4 must also be false, and the first part must remain true.
• The car was a Toyota.
• But this makes statement 6 completely false (as we already know, the car is blue).
• This contradicts the important data given. Each of his five other data provided one true and one false information.
• In this case, no eyewitness will provide a complete and accurate account.
• Therefore, the entire statement 2 must be true. Therefore the car had its headlights off.
• The second part of statement 4 must be true and the first part false if the headlights are off.
• So the car wasn't a Toyota.
• If the car is not a Toyota, it must be a Ford according to Statement 6, but the color is not grey.
• This is consistent with earlier conclusions that the car was blue.
