    P

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    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

    5. P

    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!
