19.There are 5 caps 2-black and 3-White. Three mens A , B and C are standing in

a row and each of them randomly wear a cap. C can view the caps of B and A , B c
an view the cap of A. When they are asked if they know what colour cap they are
wearing C says NO , B says NO , But A has a right Guess . A isn't a bluff . How
does A know ?
(It might be asked in different ways.)
ANS:A <- B <- C 2-black caps 3- white caps.
Since there are 2 black caps and C can view the colours of A and B's caps, so if
A and B are both wearing black coloured caps then C is sure that he is wearing
a White cap. But if either of A and B if wearing a White cap then C will be conf
used of which cap he is wearing as he has an option from 1 black cap and 2 white
caps and says a "NO". Now It's B who is now sure from C's answer as "NO" that e
ither A or B has a white cap. As B can see what cap A is wearing and if it is Bl
ack then B will be sure that he himself is wearing a white cap. But what if A is
wearing a white cap that means B will have option from 2 black caps and 2 white
caps so B is unable to answer and says "NO" . Thus from the answers of C and B
as "NO" A is sure that he is wearing a WHITE coloured cap. husshhh!
