dragon paradox

I met three dragons. One always tells the truth, other one always lies and the last one alternates between lie and truth.

Dragon 1: You may ask us one question, then you must guess which dragon is which

Dragon 2: He’s lying. You may get three questions

Dragon 3: Oh no. It’s definitely one question

I asked the first dragon a question

Me: What would the second dragon say if I were to ask it if the 3rd dragon had been lying when it agreed with the first one that I could ask only one question

Dragon 1: He’d say, “Yes, the 3rd dragon was lying”

Then I asked a second question addressing the three dragons…… But they remained silent.

And, I solved the puzzle in 90 sec.

So, which dragon is which?

They did not answer second question because it was true that i can only ask one question.

So both Dragon 1 and Dragon 3 are telling the truth first time,
So possibilities are

Case1 Case2
Dragon 1 Speaks Both Always speaks Truth
Dragon 2 Always Lie Always Lie
Dragon 3 Always speaks Truth Speaks Both

Now for first case Dragon 1’s answer should be
Dragon 2 will say Dragon 3 is lying, but as Dragon 1 speaks truth alternatively so this time he should say Dragon 2 will say Dragon 3 is not lying.

For the second case:
As Dragon 1 always speaks truth, he will say Dragon 2 will say Dragon 3 is Lying. Thus Case 2 is correct.
