Puzzle Problem:
There are 4 mugs placed upturned on the table.
Each mug have the same number of marbles and a statement about the number of marbles in it.
The statements are:
Mug 1 : Two or Three
Mug 2: One or Four
Mug 3: Three or One
Mug 4: One or Two.
Only one of the statement is correct. How many marbles are there under each mug?
As it is given that only one of the four statement is correct , the correct number can not appear in more than one statement. It it appears in more than one statement , then more than one statement will be correct.
Hence, there are 4 marbles under each mug.
Answer:
As it is given that only one of the four statement is correct , the correct number can not appear in more than one statement. It it appears in more than one statement , then more than one statement will be correct.

Great puzzle! I really enjoyed working through the logic step by step. The twist that only one statement can be true makes it much trickier than it looks at first glance. Turns out each mug has 4 marbles, since that’s the only case where exactly one statement holds. Thanks for sharing these brain teasers always a fun way to sharpen problem-solving skills!
