M, N, O, P, Y and Z live on six different floors of the same building. The lowermost floor
in the building is numbered 1, the floor above it, number 2 and so on till the topmost
floor is numbered 6. O lives on floor numbered 4. Only two people live between O and P.
Only M lives between O and N. Y lives immediately below O. Who lives on floor numbered 2?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Floor Puzzle Question 1 Detailed Solution
Let's denote the floors from 1 (lowermost) to 6 (topmost).
O lives on floor numbered 4.
Floor | Person |
6 | |
5 | |
4 | O |
3 | |
2 | |
1 |
Only two people live between O and P.
Since O is on floor 4, P can be on floor 1 (two people between O and P: floors 3 and 2) or floor 7 (which doesn't exist).
So, P must be on floor 1.
Floor | Person |
6 | |
5 | |
4 | O |
3 | |
2 | |
1 | P |
Only M lives between O and N.
Y lives immediately below O.
O is on floor 4, so Y lives on floor 3.
Since O is on floor 4, M must be on floor 5, and N must be on floor 6.
Floor | Person |
6 | N |
5 | M |
4 | O |
3 | Y |
2 | |
1 | P |
The only remaining person is Z, and the only remaining floor is 2.
So, Z lives on floor 2.
Floor | Person |
6 | N |
5 | M |
4 | O |
3 | Y |
2 | Z |
1 | P |
Based on our deductions, Z lives on floor numbered 2.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

There are 10 persons namely J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, and T. They stay in a five floored building. The bottom floor is numbered 1 and the top floor is numbered 5. Each floor of the building has two flats namely flat A and flat B. Flat A is to the west of flat B. Flat A of floor 2 is immediately above the flat A of floor 1 and immediately below flat A of floor 3 and flat B of floor 2 is immediately above the flat B of floor 1 and immediately below the flat B of floor 3, it is similar for all the other floors. Here, the same flat type means if one person stays in flat A then the other person also stays in flat A if they are staying in the same flat type.
Q stays in flat A of an odd-numbered floor, but not the topmost floor. There are two floors between the floor of N and R. J stays just above Q. S and N are in different flat types on different floors. S stays on the topmost floor. There is no one to the east of R. M is to the north-east of L. N and R stay in the same flat type. P stays on one of the floors below Q, but not immediately below. R’s floor is just below the floor of S. M does not stay on the fifth floor. T stays below K.

1) S stays on the topmost floor.
(Here there are two cases, Case 1: when S stays in flat A, Case 2: when S stays in flat B).
2) There is no one to the east of R.
(So, R stays in the flat B).
3) R’s floor is just below the floor of S.

8) P stays on one of the floors below Q, but not immediately below.
(As, P stays below Q, Q cannot stay on floor 1 as there are no floors below Q for P in that case and as P stays below Q’s floor but not immediately below so P stays on floor 1).

(Here, for M to be north-east of L, L will be on flat A of floor 2 and for M there are two cases when M is in flat B on floor 3 or flat B on floor 5).
11) M does not stay on the fifth floor.
(So, M will be on the third floor in flat B).

Eight persons - A, B, C, D, P, Q, R, and S live in a 4-storey building such as ground floor is numbered as 1 above it numbered as 2 then the top floor is numbered as 4 but not necessarily in the same order. Each of the floors has two flats in it as flat-1 and flat-2. Flat-1 of floor 2 is immediately below flat-1 of floor 3 and so on. In the same way, flat-2 of floor 2 is immediately above flat-2 of floor 1 and immediately below flat 2 of floor 3, and so on. Flat-1 is to the West of flat-2.
Q lives on an odd-numbered floor but not on floor number 1. Both R and B live in the same flat number. R and A live on the same floor. B does not live in flat-2. There is one floor between Q and S. Both Q and S do not live in the same flat. R lives 3 floors above B. C lives immediately below D in the same flat.

Floor: 1 to 4.
Flats: flat-1 and flat-2.
1) B does not live in flat-2.
2) Both R and B live in the same flat number.
It means both R and B live inn flat-1.
So, the possible arrangements are as follows,
Floor |
Flat-1 |
Flat-2 |
4 |
R |
