Incorrect AnswerFlat Q Floor 2
Correct AnswerFlat Q Flat 3
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- Floor and Flat Arrangement: There are four floors with two types of flats on each floor: P (East) and Q (West).
- Living Rules:
- X must live below R and in the same type of flat as U, with two floors between them.
- S is on Floor 4 in Flat P.
- Y and W are on the same floor with W in Flat P.
- Person Arrangement:
- S is on 4P.
- U must be two floors above X, and since S is on 4P, U cannot be on 4, implying X-1P and U-3P.
- Using X rules, R can be on 2Q.
- R cannot be on the same floor as T.
Based on the above, the correct placement for R is Option 4: Flat Q, Floor 2.
