Amma baked a cake and left it on the table to cool. Before going for her bath, she told her four children that they should not touch the cake as it was to be cut only the next day. However when she got back from her bath she found that someone had eaten a large piece of the cake. Since only her four children were present at home when this happened, she questioned them about who ate a piece of the cake. The four answers she got were:

  • Lakshmi: Aruna ate the piece of cake.
  • Ram: I did not eat the piece of cake.
  • Aruna: Varun ate the cake.
  • Varun: Aruna lied when she said I had eaten the piece of cake.

If exactly one of them was telling the truth and exactly one of them actually ate the piece of cake, who is the culprit that Amma is going to punish?

  1. Lakshmi
  2. Ram
  3. Aruna
  4. Varun
