A, B and C just finished their breakfast. One of the boys had apples, another bananas and the third, grapes. If only one of the following four statements is true, who had what for breakfast?

C had bananas.

C did not have grapes.

B did not have grapes.

B did not have apples.

By process of elimination you know that either 3 or 4 is the true one. If 3 is true then 1 2 & 4 are false so B had apples. C had grapes. So that means A must have had bananas.
