Who amongst the following lives on floor number 5?

Options

A. (a) P
B. (b) Q
C. (c) T
D. (d) V

Answer

D

Explanation

Q lives on an even-numbered floor.
Only two people live between the floors on which Q and V live.(There will be 3 cases: Q-6th floor, V- 3rd floor, Q- 4th floor, V-1st floor, Q- 2nd floor, V- 5th floor)
S lives on a floor immediately above the floor on which R lives.
S does not live on an odd-numbered floor.( S and R will get their positions in all the three cases)
P does not live on a floor which is immediately above or immediately below the floor on which T lives. (First two cases eliminated)
P does not live on the lowermost floor, i.e., floor no. 1. From the given conditions, we can conclude:

Hence V lives on the `5^(th)` floor.
