Direction: Study the information given below carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Eight persons M, O, P, Q, R, S, T and U live on eight different flats of a four-storey building but not necessary in the same order, where the bottom most floor is 1 and the floor above is numbered 2 and so on. There are 2 types of flats on each floor, flat A and flat B are such that flat A is towards the west of flat B. Flat A of floor 1 is immediately below of flat A of floor 2, which is immediately below of flat A of floor 3 and so on, similarly for flat B. The dimensions of each of the flats are same. If one person lives immediately above or below the other then they have the same flat.
There are two floors between the floors of U and R (both of them may or may not live in the same type of flat). U lives south-west of M. Q lives 2 floors above M (both live in the same type of flat). O lives immediately above S (both live in the same type of flat), who doesn’t live anywhere below M’s floor. P doesn’t live on a floor above M.
Which pair of persons live on the same floor?
U, T
Q, P
R, Q
U, S
None of the above
Let’s break down the statements step by step:
- There are 8 persons: M, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U; 4 floors (1 at the bottom to 4 at the top), 2 flats per floor (A - west, B - east).
- If persons are "immediately above/below" each other, they must be in the same flat type (both A or both B).
- “U lives south-west of M” = U is one floor below AND in flat A to M's flat B (since A is west of B).
- Q is two floors above M, same flat type.
- O lives immediately above S, same flat type, and S does not live anywhere below M’s floor.
- P doesn't live on a floor above M.
Let's try to assign:
- Suppose M is at floor x, flat B. So U should be at floor x-1, flat A. Q is at floor x+2, flat B as well.
- O is directly above S, same type. Since S can't be below M, S must be on floor x or higher.
- For P: not above M, so on M’s floor or below.
Now, check pairs:
1. U, T: U and T on same floor? No info links them.
2. Q, P: Q is two floors above M, P not above M. So, Q and P can't be same floor.
3. R, Q: No clear info places R or links to Q’s floor.
4. U, S: S cannot be below M (M > S or equal); U is one below M…so U and S cannot be together.
None of these options are directly supported. So the correct option is:
Option 5: None of the above
Key Explanation:
- The only facts about same floors are for O and S (not in options), and all linking statements prevent any listed pairs from sharing floors.
- We walk through all options and see only option 5 fits the given information.
