There is only one person sitting between V and the person who lives on 6th floor and that person can never be U.
How many persons are sitting between T and Q when counted in anticlockwise direction from Q?

Options

A. None
B. Two
C. Three
D. Six

Answer

D

Explanation

From the given conditions, the person who lives on 50 floor sits second to the right of U. W does not live on 2nd and 1st floor and he is also immediate neighbour of the one who lives on 54 floor. V, who does not live on 5th floor, sits on the immediate right of W. There is only one person sitting between V and the person who lives on 6th floor and that person can never be U. There are two persons sitting between R and the person who lives on 6th floor. P and R, who lives on 3rd floor, can never sit together. There are two persons between the persons who live on 7th and 5th floors. P is second to the right of the person who lives on 7th floor. From those conditions, we deduce the following figure.

Now from the rest conditions, S lives neither on floor nor 7th floor, Hence S lives on 5th floor. T and V are not immediate neighbours, So T lives on 6th floor and rest Q lives on 7th floor. There is only one person sitting between those two persons who live on 8th and 6th floors. The person who lives on 1st floor sits on the immediate left of the person who lives on 8th floor. W does not live on 2nd and 1st floor.
The final arrangement are -
