A crime is committed during the hartal.There are four witnesses.The witnesses are logicians and make the following statement:
●Witness One said exactly one of the four witnesses is a liar.
●Witness Two said exactly two of the four witnesses is a liar.
●Witness Three said exactly three of the four witnesses is a liar.
●Witness Four said exactly four of the four witnesses is a liar.
Assume that each of the statements is either true or false.How many of the winesses are liars?

According the question only third witness is true.So,there are three liars.Actually it is the most paradoxical BdMO National question till now.
