RBI Grade B (9 November 2019)
Explanation:
- Each friend lives on a different floor with a distinct car brand.
- Floor 4 has a Tata car, and B lives on floor 3.
- Top floor has a Kia, not owned by E.
- Jaguar is owned by someone three floors above the Honda owner (B or C).
- C lives on floor 2 and has an Audi, making Honda B's car on floor 3.
- H on floor 6 owns either Jaguar or Tesla, so H must own the Tesla (since Jaguar can't be on floor 6).
- G and E are on floors 1 and 8, and BMW isn't an option for floor 8 due to the Kia.
- Hence, G (BMW) is on floor 1, E (Kia) on floor 8.
- A does not own Tesla or Maruti; hence, A owns Jaguar.
- F, on floor 7, does not own Maruti; thus F has the Maruti.
A is on air floor 4 with the Tata.
So, the person who lives on floor numbered 4 is:
