SBI Clerk Prelims (12 Jul, 2021 Shift 1)
Explanation:
- Eight people live in a 4-floor building, with 2 flats on each floor.
- Flats are designated Flat 1 (west) and Flat 2 (east).
- There's a 2-floor gap between B and C, with B above C, and they are in different flats.
- F is directly above C.
- A is west of D, on an odd-numbered floor.
- G is on the fourth floor with no one to their west.
- H is not on the first floor.
- Placement analysis:
- C and F are a floor apart, so C is on either the first or second floor.
- If C is on the first floor, B would be on the fourth floor.
- A must be in Flat 1, as it is west of D and on an odd floor.
After evaluating these statements, we can see:
- B is on the fourth floor.
Option 4: Fourth
