Step 1: Assume Amit is knight. Then 'exactly one knight' is true → Deepa and Vikram are knaves.
Step 2: Deepa (knave) says 'Amit is knave' - FALSE statement (since Amit is knight), consistent.
Step 3: Vikram (knave) says 'Deepa is knight' - FALSE statement (since Deepa is knave), consistent.
Step 4: This works! Amit=Knight, Deepa=Knave, Vikram=Knave.

Step 5: Assume Amit is knave. Then 'exactly one knight' is false → number of knights is 0, 2, or 3.
Step 6: Since Amit is knave, possible knight counts: 0, 2, or 3.
Step 7: If 0 knights, all knaves. Then Deepa (knave) says 'Amit is knave' - TRUE statement → contradiction.
Step 8: If 2 knights, then Deepa and Vikram are knights. Deepa (knight) says 'Amit is knave' - TRUE → consistent.
Vikram (knight) says 'Deepa is knight' - TRUE → consistent.
This gives 2 knights (Deepa, Vikram) and 1 knave (Amit) - also works!
