Directions: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer
10 people live in 2 flats – A and B, of 5 floors each. Flat A is to the east of Flat B. Each of the residents belongs to different professions - Chef, Businessman, Doctor, Accountant, Engineer, Teacher, Advocate, Actor, Dentist, Baker.
P who lives on the 4 floor lives to the West of W, who is an Accountant. The one who is Baker lives to the East of the one who is Dentist. One floor between T and Q. V who is Advocate lives on the bottommost floor. The one who is Engineer lives below the one who is Doctor, who lives below the one who is Chef in the same flat. X lives beside the one who is a Teacher but not on the top floor. T and the one who is an Engineer live on floor number 3 and T does not a Engineer. Q is not a Businessman . R lives immediately below X in the same flat. S lives on an odd numbered floor in Flat A. Z lives above the one who is an Actor. No one lives to the West of the one who is Advocate. U lives beside the one who is a Businessman on the top floor.
Which of the following lives on Flat - A?
S, W
U, P
X, R
R, P
U, V
Let's break down the clues step by step:
- There are 10 people, 2 flats (A & B), 5 floors each. Each flat has 5 residents, one per floor.
- Flat A is to the east of Flat B (so on each floor: A (east), B (west))
- P is on the 4th floor, lives to the west of W (so P is in B4, W is in A4, and W is the Accountant).
- Baker lives east of Dentist (Baker in A, Dentist in B, on same floor).
- One floor between T and Q.
- V the Advocate is on the bottommost floor.
- Engineer lives below Doctor, Doctor lives below Chef, all in the same flat (must be 3 different persons in consecutive floors, in same flat).
- X lives beside Teacher, not on top floor. (so same floor, other flat).
- T and the Engineer are both on floor 3, but T is not the Engineer.
- Q is not a Businessman.
- R lives immediately below X, same flat.
- S is on an odd floor in A.
- Z lives above Actor.
- No one to west of Advocate (so V is on B1).
- U lives beside Businessman on top floor.
Let’s try to allocate:
- Floor 1: V (Advocate) in B1, nobody to his west, so A1 paired.
- Floor 4: P (B4), W (A4, Accountant)
- Baker (A), Dentist (B), same floor.
- T + Engineer on floor 3, different persons.
- X beside Teacher, not on 5th.
- R immediately below X, same flat.
- U beside Businessman, both on 5th.
Let’s focus on the options:
Option 1: S, W
Option 2: U, P
Option 3: X, R
Option 4: R, P
Option 5: U, V
Looking at A4 is W (Accountant) by the clue, so W is definitely in Flat A.
S is also in Flat A (from the clue “S lives on an odd-numbered floor in Flat A”). So Option 1 makes sense.
Therefore,
Option 1: S, W is correct.
Explanation in bullets:
- Each flat has one resident per floor, A is east, B is west.
- W (Accountant) is in A4, P is in B4.
- S is in Flat A, odd floor.
- Other clues confirm the above placements.
- Option 1 correctly lists Flat A’s confirmed residents: S and W.
- Other options do not fit the clues as precisely as Option 1.
- Option 1 is the correct answer.
