Niranjan has a secret hideout that only his best friends Indira and Che know about. One day, Niranjan tells Indira that he has hidden a special comic book in the hideout, making her promise not to tell anyone. Later, while Niranjan is away, Che visits the hideout and, without Indira's knowledge, finds and reads the comic book, then returns it to its place. The next day, Che mentions to Indira that he loved the story of the comic book Niranjan had been talking about. If Niranjan asks Indira if she thinks anyone else knows about the comic book, what would she believe and why? Provide a brief response.
Indira would believe that Che knows about the comic book. She holds this belief because Che specifically mentioned enjoying the story of the comic book, which implies that he has read it. Since Niranjan only shared the secret about the comic book with Indira and made her promise not to disclose it, and because Indira kept the promise, the logical deduction for Indira is that Che must have discovered the comic book on his own in the hideout. Indira is aware that Che also knows about the hideout and would be able to access it in Niranjan's absence. Thus, her belief that Che knows about the comic book is based on Che's direct statement about the story and her knowledge that Che could have independently found the book in the shared secret location. Indira's reasoning does not assume that Che was informed by somebody else; rather, it is grounded in the understanding that Che had both the access and the opportunity to discover the comic book on his own.
