A man intend to go to the TOP TOWN.
He is standing on a triangle- One road from where he was just coming. One of the other two roads will lead to Top Town. He don't know which?
A man said to him" No one know except two sisters residing in nearby house. However, one sister always speaks lie and the other always truth." The man go to the sisters house. and called her. One sister came at balcony.She said you are allowed to ask only one Question and get your answer?
The man thought for a while and asked one question. Hurrah he got the way to Top town.
Now tell me that question?
Remember you don't know the sister at balcony is the true one or liar. So be careful in asking ONLY ONE question.

It is really a hard one.
My answer is
The man will ask following question
"Please go and ask your sister to tell the righ road to Top town"?
Whatever answer is ... the man will go to opposite road of the what he will told by the girl.
The justification....
If the girl at balcony is the liar, she will go to her sister which is not liar and she will tell her the right road. But the liar will not tell the man the right road since she is liar.
Opposite road will lead to top town.
If the girl at balcony is not liar she will go to her sister.The sister will tell her the wrong road. She will not change it since she is not liar.
Opposite road will lead to top town.
Am I right?
