Question 98

Which of the following statements is true with respect to the given arrangement ?

Solution

M lives on an odd numbered floor but not on floor 3. The one who has income of 11000 lives immediately above M. Only two people live between M and the one who has income of 7500,The one who has income of 7500 lives immediately above O, this can be represented in 2 scenarios :-

Only three people live between 0 and the one who has income of 15000. Person with income of 3500 lives immediately above the one with income of 5000.
Neither O nor M has income of 9000 this eliminating scenario-1 :-

Only one person lives between N and Q. N lives on one of the floors above Q. Q does not has income of 7500. Thus Q leaves on floor 4.

R earns 4000 more than Q. The one who has income of 15000 lives on one of the odd numbered floors above P.

Hence Option C.
