Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
Eight persons - A, B, C, D, P, Q, R and S live in a 4-storey building such as ground floor is numbered as 1 above it numbered as 2 then top floor is numbered as 4 but not necessarily in the same order. Each of the floors has two flats in it as flat-1 and flat-2. Flat-1 of floor 2 is immediately below flat-1 of floor 3 and so on. In the same way, flat-2 of floor 2 is immediately above flat-2 of floor 1 and immediately below flat 2 of floor 3 and so on. Flat-1 is to the West of flat-2
Q lives in an odd-numbered floor but not on floor number 1. Both R and B live in the same flat number. R and A live in the same floor. B does not live in flat-2. There is a gap of one floor between Q and S. Both Q and S do not live in the same flat. R lives 3 floors above B. C lives immediately below D on the same flat.
Four of the following five are alike in a certain way and hence form a group. Which among the following does not belong to that group?
R
S
Q
P
B
Let’s break down the statements:
- There are 8 people, 4 floors, 2 flats (flat-1 West, flat-2 East).
- Q: Odd floor but not 1 (so 3 or 2? But 2 isn’t odd. So Q is on 3).
- R & B: Same flat.
- R & A: Same floor.
- B: Not flat-2.
- Gap of one floor between Q & S (one floor between, so if Q is on 3, S can be on 1 or 4).
- Q & S: Not same flat.
- R lives 3 floors above B (So if R is floor 4, B on floor 1; if R on 3, B on 0, but 0 doesn’t exist).
- C lives below D in the same flat.
Let’s examine the options for the odd one out:
- Typically, all but one will have something in common (such as floor or flat).
- R, S, Q, P, B — Looking at given info, all except P are mentioned specifically in constraints. P is not mentioned in any main clue.
Thus, Option 4, P is the odd one out, since all the others are tightly constrained by the information, while P is not.
- Option 4: P is correct.
.
Key Explanations:
- Q, S, R, B have interlinked relationships, all positioned by the rules.
- P is not referenced, doesn’t interact in clues. So, P does not belong to the group.
