Of Al, Ben and Cal, only one man is smart.
Al says truthfully:
    1. If I am not smart, I will not pass Physics.
    2. If I am smart, I will pass Chemistry.

Ben says truthfully:
    1. If I am not smart, I will not pass Chemistry.
    2. If I am smart, I will pass Physics.

Cal says truthfully:
    1. If I am not smart, I will not pass Physics.
    2. If I am smart, I will pass Physics.
It is known that:
   I. The smart man is the only man to pass one 
particular subject.
   II. The smart man is also the only man to fail 
the other particular subject.
