Junta can post puzzle in this section, here is from my side.
You are in a room with 2 doors leading out. Behind 1 door is a coffer
overflowing with jewels and gold, along with an exit. Behind the
other door is an enormous, hungry lion that will pounce on anyone
opening the door. You do not know which door leads to the treasure
and exit, and which door leads to the lion. In the room you are in
are 2 individuals. The first is a knight, who always tells the truth,
and a knave, who always lies. Both of these individuals know what is
behind each door. You do not know which individual is the knight, or
which one is the knave. You may ask one of the individuals exactly 1
question. What should you ask in order to be certain that you will
open the door with the coffer behind it, instead of the hungry lion? | | |  | | The Following User Says Thank You to luckynawabs For This Useful Post: | | | | | |

let us see How.......
1) if i ask the Knight that " if i ask the next person ( knave) abt the door which leads to exit then what wud be his answer?"
and his answer will be the wrong one...the door which has lion behind it.
2) if i ask the same Q to knave then also.....as he tells lie.....he also wud have pointed the wrong door.
so our result will be the next door.........
