Answer / manpreet
He is a boy and his father told da passenger tht he is a boy.

written as she is a girl.so its a lie and in first line its
written MEN always speak truth so his father told da passenger.

Answer / pradeep
If the second statements were made by women, then both her
statements are lie(he is a girl? ?he is lying?.if these are
to be taken as separate statements).In that case it
contradicts "no women tells consecutive truth or false" coz
here both of her statements are lies.
Ans the statments canno be from Men also.

Answer / sowmiya
on analyzing the question carefully,
we can say the statement we can say that "he is a girl"
makes no sense in english..
so we can say that father spoke first and said the truth
that the "kid is a boy"....mother spoke next...

Answer / surya prakash
1)the kid is a boy
because eventhough he replied the answer truthly.
2)the mother spoke the first because
any how if her first sentence is true then the second one
will be wrong or if her first sentence is false then the
second one will be wrong which satisfies the condition of
being a mother.

Answer / deepthy
i think the kid is a boy....and the first sentence is made
by father.....in the second sentence,ie the mother,the line
"he is a girl" is false ans the second statement"he is
lying" can refer to the boy who is speaking german,so that
might be true...
