Answer / deepak
Its ridiculous to see all of the people arguing here. its
clearly mentioned that the "boy spoke German" and the
family has one child. so it has to be a boy. No need to
consider anything else. Father spoke first.

Answer / keyrthy
Dont think that far.It is given in the question itself
that"The boy spoke German"itself signifying that the kid is
a boy,also the second one said "He is a girl" which is
meaningless it should be said"she is a girl"so it is a
false statement as per given condition men always speak
truth so this is not spoken by father,so first response
given by father
