1 A traveller visited a village whose inhabitants either always tell the truth or always lie. The
villagers stood in a circle facing the centre of the circle, and each villager announced whether the person standing to his right is a truth-teller. On the basis of this information, the traveller was able to determine what fraction of the villagers were liars. What was this fraction? (A) (B) (C) (D) (E)
