Directions : Read the following information carefully and answer the questions which follow. A, B, C, D, E and F live on different floors in the same building having six floors numbered one to six (the ground floor is numbered one, the floor above it is numbered two, and so on, and the topmost floor is numbered 6). A lives on an even-numbered floor. There are two floors between the floors on which D and F live. F lives on a floor above D's floor. D does not live on the floor numbered two. B does not live on an odd-numbered floor. C does not live on any of the floors below F's floor. E does not live on a floor immediately above or immediately below the floor on which B lives.
On which of the following floors does B live?
C lives above F, who in turn lives 3 floors above D. D does not live on the 2nd floor. The possibilities are as follows:
_ C
C _
F F
_ _
_ _
D D
But, A and B live on even numbered floors. So, the 2nd possibility is ruled out. E has to live on the 3rd floor. Since B does not live next to E, E should live on the 6th floor and A should live on the 2nd floor. So, the arrangement is as follows:
D(1) A(2) E(3) F(4) C(5) B(6)
So, B lives on the 6th floor.
