We could try to do some nonsensical math, but that isnt smart. We can use logic and process of elimination instead.

E) Cannot be 4 since that would mean there is only one liar (and questions says there is 2.
A) Cannot be 0 since it says that some people always tell the truth, so there cannot be 0 tattle tales ;)
D) Cannot be 3 because the attachment will show its not possible to not have 2 of the truth says sit beside each other

ABOUT TO GET TRICKY PAY ATTENTION -_-

Now its either B) or C) Lets examine the WRONG answer and then explain why the other is right

B) This answer cant be right because of a how liars work. If beside 2 liars, they HAVE to lie and say they are beside 2 truths. Since each person (in the claimed scenario) says they are besides 2 liars, then this cant happen.

C) Only option left, but ill explain anyway. Since there are 2 truths, they can both tell the truth will the liars always have at least 1 truth to the left or right of them to allow them to lie. (the inverse of D) with 3 truths)

Hope diagrams helped!

step-by-step explanation: the declaration of the rights of man and of the citizen (french: déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen de 1789), set by france's national constituent assembly in 1789, is a human civil rights document from the french revolution.[1]

the declaration was drafted by the abbé sieyès and the marquis de lafayette, in consultation with thomas jefferson.[2] influenced by the doctrine of "natural right", the rights of man are held to be universal: valid at all times and in every place, pertaining to human nature itself. it became the basis for a nation of free individuals protected equally by the law. it is included in the beginning of the constitutions of both the fourth french republic (1946) and fifth republic (1958) and is still current. inspired by the enlightenment philosophers, the declaration was a core statement of the values of the french revolution and had a major impact on the development of freedom and democracy in europe and worldwide.[3]

the 1789 declaration, together with the 1215 magna carta, the 1689 english bill of rights (1689), the 1776 united states declaration of independence, and the 1789 united states bill of rights, inspired in large part the 1948 united nations universal declaration of human rights

If m∠abc = 70°, what is m∠abd? justify your reasoning. using the addition property of equality, 40 + 70 = 110, so m∠abd = 110°. using the subtraction property of equality, 70 − 30 = 40, so m∠abd = 30°. using the angle addition postulate, 40 + m∠abd = 70. so, m∠abd = 30° using the subtraction property of equality. using the angle addition postulate, 40 + 70 = m∠abd. so, m∠abd = 110° using the addition property of equality.

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.
