Graph Travesals The first person says, "I am a door inspector-it's what I do. We have to make sure that the hinges are tight so the doors won't fall on people, the doorknobs are secure so they can't come off in anyone's hand, and the locks work. I've just been through every door in the house exactly once (and had to repair two locks and tighten three doorknob screws) and now everything is in working order. The second person says, "I am from the cleaning service. I visited each room exactly once to clean it- after a I would not want to step on any clean floors, nor would I want to get add itional dirt on my shoes in going from room to room James Bomb clears his throat. What is he about to announce? Is it possible that cither the first or the second person is telling the truth?Explanation / Answer
The door inspector is lying as he said that he had been through each and every door exactly once but if he has been throught the solarium into garden he again has to go through the solarium door to come back to the house. In contrast the cleaner said he has been through each room exactly once without stepping on cleaned floor. he also said he dont want to add dirt to his shoes so he dont visit the garden area, which is a possible scenario. Thus the bond concludes that the door inspector is the murderer.
