- ABoth of them are truth-tellers.
- BChetna is a truth-teller and Dinesh is a liar.
- CChetna is a liar and Dinesh is a truth-teller.
- DBoth of them are liars.
Step-by-Step Solution
Suppose Chetna were a truth-teller. Then Dinesh really is a truth-teller, so his own words are true and the two are of different kinds — but we have just made them both truth-tellers, a contradiction. So Chetna is a liar. Her claim about Dinesh is therefore false, so Dinesh is a liar too. Check that this holds together: Dinesh's words, 'we are not of the same kind', are false, and indeed they are of the same kind. The traps: 'both truth-tellers' is the case just shown to break down; 'Chetna truthful, Dinesh a liar' makes Chetna's own statement false while she is supposed to be truthful; 'Chetna a liar, Dinesh truthful' makes Chetna's statement true while she is supposed to be lying.
Answer: D) Both of them are liars.
