1.     Zulus always speak truth and Hutus always speak lies. There are three persons A,B&C. A met B and says “I am a Zulu or I am Hutu". We don't know what exactly he said. then B meets C and says to c that " A is a Zulu ". Then C replied “No, A is a Hutu ".

How many Zulus are there?  Who must be a Zulu?

Answer: Three Zulus (Possible)  A must be a Zulu.

Let us analyze.  B says A is a Zulu. If B is saying the truth then A & B are Zulus

C replies that A is a Hutu. If C speaks the truth then C is a Zulu. Thus we have three Zulus in A, B, and C. 

B says A is a Zulu. If B is lying then both A and B are Hutus. C says A is a Hutu. If C is lying then he is a Hutu and A is a Zulu. Thus from all possibilities we can say A is a Zulu.
