Answer : The car is in Box 2Explanation :
Exactly one statement is true. So Suppose,
Box 1 statment is true, then Box 2 statment also becomes true.
Suppose Box 2 statement is true then either Box 1 will be true or Box 3 will be true too.
Suppose Box 3 statement has to be true.
So by the true statment of Box 3, we know that,
car is not in Box 1 and statement of Box 2 is also considered false so car is not in Box 3.
So car has to be in Box 2.
