going by Bo's statement :- Bo cannot be thief, else both of Bo's statement will be true....Also Roman cannot be thief else wise both of Bo's statement will be false....SInce only one of Bo's statement is true, hence either of John or kate can only be thief.
Going by Kate statment that "It was bo" , this is false by above expalnation, hence his first statement must be true i.e. "It was John".
Keeping John as thief will also make one of the statement of both Roman and John true and other statement of them wrong....

Hello people. This might be a little off-topic but am panicking about my CR. Its been 10 days since I started practicing CR. I have read the MGMAT CR twice (including questions) and have tried the OG13, etc. But I am still getting an accuracy ranging from 50%- 100%. I suppose its because I do all correct when easier questions come. How do I go about improving my CR to about 90% and consistent? Ihave heard the usual advice from a lot many people but it does not seem to be working. Should I read the LSAT CR book thoroughly? Reply soon Thanks Digvijay
@EducationAisle Thanks for your prompt response. Well I am convinced about 97% of them, the rest 3% i have marked as doubts and will ask them to my instructor.
Assumption: Kodumboo definitely becomes a masai warrior. :/
Also another problem I think I have is that I don't stop after the paragraph to make assumptions. I cant stop from going to the options directly, I have this urge to finish before time.
I am facing somewhat similar problem, I am able to figure out the argument and conclusion and premises but in difficult question I falter at the last two options to chose from.
I have read Powerscore Bible CR and I think It havent made much difference other than improving confidence other than that it has to be natural ...Dunno how to improve my CR accuracy from 60% to 90=%
@EducationAisle CAN YOU SUGGEST ME SOME GUD CHALLENGING MATERIAL FOR CRITICAL REASONING, i have my thinking in line,but very less material with me so far as i was into CAT n all that stuff....
@sankalp.verma A humble request..Please avoid writing "Is the answer E ..The answer is not A below the question." It gets into the mind of people and they would then not answer it unbiased..
