Had is correct ! Anil went in right direction but ended up
with wrong answers
Soln: B lied ( see anil's comment ) which implies B has not
stolen mule. So B could steal camel or sheep.
1) Lets assume B stole camel.
In that case, A lies ( refer - A says "B had stolen sheep"
), which implies A had stolen sheep ( becoz a lier cant
steal mule ). So A->sheep B->camel C->mule. But this cant
happen because C cant lie ( refer - C says " B had stolen
mule" ).
2) Lets assume B stole sheep.
In that case, A is true ( refer - A says "B had stolen
sheep" ), which implies A had stolen mule. So A->Mule
B->Sheep C->camel. Here C lies ( refer - C says " B had
stolen mule" )
SO ANS: answer A- mule, B-sheep, C camel

Answer / suvam
The question is wrong. In place of horse there should be sheep.
If so then B is tailing the lie =>B=not sheep;
now A is lie because he said"B has stolen sheep"=> C is right(because one should be right) >B=mule;
and C=sheep; and A= camel;
Ans :
A=>Camel
B=>Mule
C=>Sheep

Answer / shru
When c say B had stolen mule then sure that c is lying
(because only 2 category are there true or lie if c had
stolen mule then he would have told truth but he pointed on
B for stealing mule so C is lier)
c->camel left is A is truth A->mule so B->sheep

Answer / anilkumar
Three persons are thiefs so they shoulld theaft atleast one
animal.
Any one of them is telling the truth.........
from the problem we know that B is telling lie for sure..
so assume B has stolen camel
now assume a has stolen sheep
so c has stolen mule.
but c has told that B has stolen mule.....wich is false
so C also told a lie......
now assume c has stolen camel because he told lie
therefore A must have told the truth because other two are
lieng,,,,,
ans :A-sheep B-mule c-camel
