Reasoning and Logic

15. The country of Enon is inhabited by two types of people: liars and truthers. Liarsalwaystell liesand
truthers always tell the truth. A visitor to Enon held a conwrsation with three citizens of Enon: Alan,
Beryl and Carole. During the conversation Alan remarked, "Beryl and Carole are liars". Beryl heatedly
replied, "l am not aliar," and Carole quietly added, "Beryl is indeed a liar".

(i) Which one of the three citizens of Enon must be a liar?

(ii) How many of these three citizens are liars?

ln each case justify your answer. (11 marks)
