In an Island the natives lie and visitors speak truth. A man wants to know whether a salesman beside him in a bar is a native or visitor. He asked him to ask a woman beside him whether she is a native or visitor. He replied "she says she is a visitor". Then he knew that the salesman is a native or visitor. salesman is in which category , native or visitor?
the salesman says - "She says she is a visitor", which obviously means that he admits that she is a woman. So he is telling the truth. So the salesman is a visitor....

What avinash shetty says is absolutely tremendous concept. Yes he is a visitor. We can look in another manner reason:
Salesmen replied "She says she is a visitor". it means "salesman does not know that women".
Its proves that he does not belong to that island and he is outsider.

What pdsubbu answered is simply brilliant.. No need of reasoning the question. The salesman replies "she says she is a visitor", the man enquires about the woman and the salesman refers her as she which implies that sales man is saying truth and he is a visitor

Four case can happen: 1. woman visitor, salesman visitor In this case woman will say that "i am vistor" and salesman will say" she is vistor'
2. woman native, salesman native In this case woman will say " i am vistor" and salesman will say" she is native"
3. woman vistor, salesman native In this case woman wil say " i am visitor" and salesman will say" she is native".
4. woman native, salesman visitor Here woman says " i m visitor" , sales man says " she is visitor"
from the above 4 cases, only case 1 and case 4 holds good as here the salesman says"she is visitor" which is what the salesman says in the problem.
In both cases 1 and 4 , salesman is a vistor, so confirmed that salesman is a visitor.
