Which Room
Written on 2:36 pm by Vja Students
This is the first of a series of classic "Lady or the Tiger" puzzles. You have to choose between two rooms. Each of them contains either a lady or a tiger, but it could be that there are ladies in both rooms, or tigers in both rooms, or one could contain a lady while the other contained a tiger. There are signs on the doors of the rooms:
Room 1:IN THIS ROOM THERE IS A LADY, AND IN THE OTHER ROOM THERE IS A TIGER .
Room 2:IN ONE OF THESE ROOMS THERE IS A LADY, AND IN ONE OF THESE ROOMS THERE IS A TIGER .
One of the signs is true, but the other one is false. Which door would you open (assuming, of course, that you preferred the lady to the tiger)?
Solution::We are given that one of the two signs is true and the other false. Could it be that the first is true and the second false? Certainly not, because if the first sign is true, then the second sign must also be true - that is, if there is a lady in Room I and a tiger in Room II, then it is certainly the case that one of the rooms contains a lady and the other a tiger. Since it is not the case that the first sign is true and the second one false, then it must be that the second sign is true and the first one false. Since the second sign is true, then there really is a lady in one room and a tiger in the other. Since the first sign is false, then it must be that the tiger is in Room I and the lady in Room II. So you should choose Room II.
room 2
Second sentence is correct and 1 st one is false.
Lady is in Room 2.
The second sign cannot be false, because 'atleast' one of the signs is correct. So, the second sign is correct, and the condition is the opposite as in the first sign.
But, suppose, what if the lion is a 'Lady Lion'? Just joking. The answer is simply room two. "My fair lady, here I come!"
