Direction: Study the following information to answer the given questions:
Seven persons M, N, O, P, Q, R and S live on different floors of a 7-storey building. The lowermost floor is numbered as 1, floor above it as 2 and so on. N lives two floors above R’s floor. M does not live on prime numbered floor. Three persons live between R and P’s floor. O lives just above S’s floor. P lives on prime numbered floor. Q lives above M’s floor.
Who lives three floors above R?
Q
O
M
N
P
Let’s break it down step by step.
- Seven people (M, N, O, P, Q, R, S) on floors 1 to 7.
- N lives two floors above R. So if R is floor x, N is x+2.
- M does not live on prime-numbered floors (2, 3, 5, 7).
- Three persons between R and P. That means if R is on 2, P is on 6; or vice versa, but gap is always three floors in between.
- O is just above S.
- P lives on a prime floor (so, 2, 3, 5 or 7).
- Q lives above M.
Let's see what fits together:
- Choose R as floor 1 (lowest). N becomes floor 3.
- Now, three between R (1) & P (5). So P = 5.
- P is on 5, which is prime. Statement fits.
- Now M can't be on 2, 3, 5, or 7 (all primes). So M = 1, 4, or 6.
- But R already on 1; can't overlap.
- So, try M = 4 or M = 6.
- Q lives above M. So Q = 5, 6, or 7. But P = 5, so try M = 4: Q = 5, 6, or 7. But 5 is occupied by P, so Q could be on 6 or 7.
- O is just above S, so those two go together somewhere.
Now let's fill:
1. R
2.
3. N
4. M
5. P
6. Q
7.
M = 4, Q = 6
Left: O, S
Who’s three above R? R = 1, So 4. Floor 4 is M.
Answer options recap:
1. Q
2. O
3. M
4. N
So, three floors above R is M.
Correct Option is: Option 3, M
- The statements tie together with each clue, so order makes sense.
- M is three floors above R.
- Q is one of the top floors above M.
- O and S must go in remaining spots, with O just above S.
That’s the logical placement!
