from the 5th sentence it is clear that L and N dont have money.
so if we say that M, O, P have money then it satisfies all the conditions.

Comparing the statements of L, M,N,O,P we can come to the conclusion that M,N,O,P are telling lies, because they are contardicting each others statement.M's statement is contardicted by P's statement, similiarly L's is contradicted by L's statement, and O's statement contradicted by M's ,and P's statement is contracdicted by L and N's statement.
Hence M,N,O,P are telling lies.Now only L's statement is not contracdicted.
bbut we know that L is telling lies hence .All the other four do not have money and L has money
