This Question was developed and used in Japan for job and university IQ tests. Mainly used in the IT sector. This test is solved in around 15mins . Let's see can you get every one on the other side?
The Question is :
There are some people at one shore of the river and a boat. They have to cross the river. The people consists of a Mother with 2 daughters, a Father with 2 sons , a Thief and a Police officer.
The Rules are :
1. Only two people can travel at once through the boat.
2. Only the Police officer and the parents can drive the boat across the river . The children and the thief can't drive the boat.
3. Daddy can not stay with the girls without the presence of the mother, otherwise he will kill them.
4. Mum cant stay with the boys without the presence of the father, otherwise she will kill them.
5. The arrested Thief cannot stay with any of the family members without the Police officer, otherwise he will kill anyone of them.
6. These rules apply on both the shores of the river.
7. The Police officer can only prevent the thief from killing anyone (if they are on same shore) , he can't prevent the family members from killing if above conditions is violated even when he is on the same shore.
Now , By what method and order will you make everyone cross the river safely so that no one kills anyone and no one dies ?
