Answer:

We know that 1 statement is true and the other 2 false.

Based on this information lets see which statement is true by testing each scenario.

Case 1: Lets consider that the cash is in bag 1, then;


Statement 1: False

Statement 2: True.

Statement 3:  False

Case 2: Now assume that the cash is in bag 2, then;

Statement 1: True

Statement 2: False.

Statement 3:  True.

Case 3: Now lets consider that the cash to be in bag 3.

Statement 1: True

Statement 2: True.

Statement 3:  False.

Only in case of case 1 only 1 statement is true and the other 2 false.

Hence we can say that the cash is in bag 1 and statement 2 is right.
