Who among the following lives on the first floor?
Solution
Q lives on an even-numbered floor but not on the floor numbered second or fourth. It means that Q lives on 6th floor.
Only three floors are there between Q and R. It implies that R lives on the 2nd floor.
Only two people live between R and N. It implies that N lives on the 5th floor.
M lives on the floor immediately above P which implies that M lives in 4th floor and P lives on the 3rd floor.
S lives on the remaining 1st floor.
