On an island, knights always tell the truth and knaves always lie. A says, "B is a knave." B says, "A and I are both knights." What are A and B?

  • AA is a knight and B is a knave
  • BBoth are knights
  • CBoth are knaves
  • DA is a knave and B is a knight
Correct answer: A

Explanation

If B were a knight his statement would force A to be a knight, but then A's claim that B is a knave would be false; so B is a knave, which makes A's statement true and A a knight.
