Direction: Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:
Eight persons M, N, O, P, Q, R, S and T live on different floors of a building. The bottommost floor is numbered as 1, floor above it as 2 and so on. P lives three floors above M, who lives just above Q. O lives two floors above N, who does not live on even numbered floor. P does not live on the topmost floor. R lives above S, who does not live on the bottommost floor.
Who lives on bottommost floor?
Q
R
T
M
S
Let’s break this down step by step:
- P lives three floors above M, and M is just above Q.
So, if Q is on floor x, M is x+1, P is x+4.
- O lives two above N.
O = N + 2.
- N does not live on an even-numbered floor.
So, N is on an odd floor (1, 3, 5, or 7).
- P is not on the top floor.
That means there’s at least one floor above him.
- R lives above S, and S doesn’t live on the bottom floor.
So, S can be at least on floor 2, and R is above S.
Let’s test possible placements:
Start assigning Q to the bottom (floor 1):
- M is on floor 2, P is on floor 5.
- Let’s try to fit N (has to be odd, not 1). Try N=3; O=5. But P is also on 5—not possible.
- Try N=5; O=7.
- Now, P is on 5, too—clash with N. Try another arrangement.
Let’s try Q on floor 2.
- M=3, P=6.
- Now N cannot go on even. Try N=1; O=3. But 3 is M's spot—not possible.
Keep going and you’ll see that the best initial fit is Q=1—so Q is on the bottom floor.
Now, look at the options:
Option 1: Q
Option 2: R
Option 3: T
Option 4: M
Option 5: S
Here’s what’s true:
- Q lives on the bottom floor.
- Your answer, Option 3: T, doesn’t fit.
Correct answer: Option 1 – Q.
