Answer / neha

Here Your question needs to be bit tricky. Ask this question to any of the guards.
"If I ask the other guy, what is the path to Heaven which path he will tell me?"
Whatever path that guard tell you, choose the opposite path - that will be the heaven path.

Explanation:
If the person whom you asked speaks true always then he will point to the hell path, because we asked ' what will the answer of the other guy not his' and as he knows that another guy is a lier and he will show hell path so he also tells us the hell path.

If suppose the person whom you asked is the hell guy and always speaks a lie. Then also he will tell us hell path as he knows another guy will tell us the heaven path but he himself is a lier always so he will tell us hell path always.

So no matter who spoke lie or true. we need to go to opposite direction.

Answer / siddiq

G0dz1la is CORRECT, rest of them all are wrong!!!

Ask a question to either any of the GAURD for which you know
the answer!!!

1 + 1 = 2(I know the answer)

who ever I ask,
Hell 1 + 1 = 3, he is from HELL(always lies),
Heaven 1 + 1 = 2, he is from Heaven(always true).
Thanks,
Siddiq

Answer / venkat

Lets apply probability.

Hell-- The guard always lies..
Suppose you ask him " Are you from Hell? he wud definitely
answer "NO" as he always lies. If you ask him " Are you
from heaven?" He wud say "Yes".

Heaven-- The guard always speaks truth.
Suppose if you ask him "Are you from Hell?" He wud say "NO".
If you ask him "Are you from heaven?He wud say "Yes".

As you are supposed to answere only one question...

If the guard's answer is NO, then it is Hell
If the guard's answer is Yes then it is Heaven
