Answer Posted / 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,,,,,
