Man who lost road goes to any one of the persons, let it be person A and Person B

q.1, Man to person A: If i ask him(person b) , which way will he show to go to my home ?

q.2, Man to person B : if i ask him (person a), which way will he show to go to my home?

Now the “man” goes in the “OTHER” road which they both show.

Explanation:

Case 1:

  • person A is lier
  • person B dosen’t lie

When man asks person A the q.1 , since he is basically lier he will show the road of death.

When man asks person B the q.2 , since he dosen’t lie he show the road of death.

So man leaves the road both showed(basically you just ask any one person) and gose happly in the otheer road to home

Case 2:

  • person A is dosen’t lie
  • person B is lier

When man asks person A the q.1 , since he dosen’t lie he will show the road of death.

When man asks person b the q.2 , since he lies he show the road of death..

So man leaves the road both showed and gose happly in the otheer road to home..
