Answer Posted / mandi

Five caps: 3black , 2 white (B B B W W)
There are 4 cases:

Case no. Chander Sunder Maninder
1. W. W. B
2. W. B. Can't ans.
3. B. W. Can't ans.
4. B. B. Can't ans.
#maninder
only in 1st case maninder knows the answer and the in rest of three cases he doesn't know the answer.
as maninder replied to john that he doesn't know the answer which means that the possible color combination of caps that Chander n sunder are wearing may be WB, BW, BB.

Case no. Chander. Sunder. Maninder
1. W. W. B.
2. W. B. Can't ans.
3. B. Can't ans. Can't ans.
4. B. Can't ans. Can't ans.
#sunder
Sunder has heard that maninder doesn't know the answer from that he concluded that Chander and me(sunder) are not wearing WW combination.
if Chander is wearing white cap and if WW combination is not possible then sunder would have answered immediately as black cap for himself but he didnt answer that means WB combination is also nt possible.(i.e.chander nt wearing white cap)
And as per the case no.3 & 4 sunder doesn't know the answer only when Chander is wearing black cap.

So from this concluding that chander is wearing black cap.
