Three friends Jim, Sam and Tom were playing in the garden and one of them broke a vase. While enquiring about it the three friends answered as follows:
Jim: I haven’t broken the vase.
Sam: I haven’t broken the vase.
Tom: Sam has broken the vase.
If only one of them is speaking the truth, then who broke the vase?
