Mr. Dalisay comes from an elite family in the province who desperately wanted to have a boy as his first born child so that his father, Mr. Flavio Dalisay III, would hand over the family sacred relic, the Balaraw of Panday, to him instead of his other brother. There were rumors that Mr. Dalisay arranged for the exchange of the babies in the hospital to secure his heir. Mr. and Mrs. Lizardo received baby #1 and Mr. and Mrs. Dalisay received baby #2. Is this rumor true? Blood typing tests on the parents and the babies showed the following results:
|
Mr. Lizardo: Type A |
Mr. Dalisay: Type AB |
|
Mrs. Lizardo: Type O |
Mr. Dalisay: Type O |
|
Baby #1 (Girl): Type A |
Baby #2 (Boy): Type O |
Were the babies switched? How do you know whether they were, or they weren’t?
