Eight persons - A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H live in a building of 4 floors and 2 flats - Flat 1 and Flat 2. Flat 1 is to the west of Flat 2 and Flat 1 of Floor 1 is immediately below Flat 1 of Floor 2 and Flat 2 of Floor 1 is immediately below Flat 2 of Floor 2 and so on. There are two floors between B and C. B lives above C and they live in different flats. A lives west of D but on the odd number of floor. F lives immediately above C. No person lives west of G who lives on the fourth floor. H does not live on floor number one.
Who lives just East of F ?
A
C
D
H
B
Let’s break down the clues first:
- 8 people: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H
- Building has 4 floors, each floor has Flat 1 (west) and Flat 2 (east).
- *B lives above C, in different flats, and 2 floors between them (e.g., C on 1, B on 4).*
- *F lives immediately above C.*
- *A lives west of D (so same floor, A in Flat 1, D in Flat 2), and on an odd floor.*
- *No one is west of G, who lives on 4th floor (so G must be in Flat 1, 4th floor).*
- *H does not live on 1st floor.*
Let’s work through it:
- G must be in Flat 1 (west), 4th floor.
- Suppose B is in Flat 2, 4th floor; then C must be in Flat 1 or 2, 1st floor.
- C and F: F lives immediately above C. So if C is on 1st, F is on 2nd (but 4th and 1st are the most separated for B and C).
- If C is in Flat 1, 1st floor, B will be 4th floor, but in Flat 2.
- F would be in Flat 1, 2nd floor.
- A and D: A is west of D (means same floor, Flat 1 and Flat 2, on odd floor, so floor 1 or 3).
- H not on 1st floor.
Let’s locate F:
- C: Floor 1, Flat 1
- F: Floor 2, Flat 1
Who is in Flat 2, 2nd floor? That’s just east of F.
Let’s review options for “who lives just east of F”: (Flat 2, 2nd floor)
- Is it A? A must be in Flat 1, odd floor, west of D. So could be 1st or 3rd floor only.
- Is it C? C is in Flat 1, 1st floor.
- Is it D? D must be east of A, on odd floor, so could be 1st or 3rd floor, Flat 2.
- Is it H? It could be. Let's check if there are contradictions.
- Is it B? B is in 4th floor, Flat 2.
So, on the 2nd floor:
Flat 1: F
Flat 2: H (no contradiction, since H can't be on 1st floor, and fits into 2nd).
So, the person just east of F is H.
Option 4: H
---
Explanation in bullets:
- G is on top west (Floor 4, Flat 1).
- B is on Floor 4, but Flat 2, two floors above C.
- C is on Floor 1, Flat 1; F is above C (Floor 2, Flat 1).
- A is on Flat 1, odd floor; D is east of A (meaning Flat 2, same odd floor).
- H does not live on the 1st floor. 2nd floor, Flat 2 allows this.
- So, just east of F (2,1) is H (2,2).
- Correct answer: Option 4: H
