Arjun is not in the topmost or bottommost floor and there are two floors between Arjun and Mukund. This is only possible if Arjun is in 5 and Mukund is in 2 or Mukund is in 5 and Arjun is in 2.

Lets assume Arjun is in 5 and Mukund is in 2. Mahesh is in an even numbered floor and Trilok is above Mahesh and Mukund is possible only if Trilok is in 6 and Mahesh is in 4. Bhupal is below Somesh. So, Bhupal is in 1 and Somesh is in 3.

If Arjun is in 2 and Mukund in 5, Trilok will be in 6 as he is above Mukund. Mahesh is in an even numbered floor, so he will be in 4. Bhupal is below Somesh. So, Bhupal will be in 1 and Somesh will be in 3.

So, we can’t determine if Arjun or Mukund is in 2 (or 5).

Arjun is not in the topmost or bottommost floor and there are two floors between Arjun and Mukund. This is only possible if Arjun is in 5 and Mukund is in 2 or Mukund is in 5 and Arjun is in 2.

Lets assume Arjun is in 5 and Mukund is in 2. Mahesh is in an even numbered floor and Trilok is above Mahesh and Mukund is possible only if Trilok is in 6 and Mahesh is in 4. Bhupal is below Somesh. So, Bhupal is in 1 and Somesh is in 3.

If Arjun is in 2 and Mukund in 5, Trilok will be in 6 as he is above Mukund. Mahesh is in an even numbered floor, so he will be in 4. Bhupal is below Somesh. So, Bhupal will be in 1 and Somesh will be in 3.
So, we can’t determine if Arjun or Mukund is in 2 (or 5).

So, the answer is (e) Can’t be determined.

Arjun is not in the topmost or bottommost floor and there are two floors between Arjun and Mukund. This is only possible if Arjun is in 5 and Mukund is in 2 or Mukund is in 5 and Arjun is in 2.

Lets assume Arjun is in 5 and Mukund is in 2. Mahesh is in an even numbered floor and Trilok is above Mahesh and Mukund is possible only if Trilok is in 6 and Mahesh is in 4. Bhupal is below Somesh. So, Bhupal is in 1 and Somesh is in 3.

If Arjun is in 2 and Mukund in 5, Trilok will be in 6 as he is above Mukund. Mahesh is in an even numbered floor, so he will be in 4. Bhupal is below Somesh. So, Bhupal will be in 1 and Somesh will be in 3.
So, we can’t determine if Arjun or Mukund is in 2 (or 5).

So, the answer is (e) Can’t be determined.

Arjun is not in the topmost or bottommost floor and there are two floors between Arjun and Mukund. This is only possible if Arjun is in 5 and Mukund is in 2 or Mukund is in 5 and Arjun is in 2.

Lets assume Arjun is in 5 and Mukund is in 2. Mahesh is in an even numbered floor and Trilok is above Mahesh and Mukund is possible only if Trilok is in 6 and Mahesh is in 4. Bhupal is below Somesh. So, Bhupal is in 1 and Somesh is in 3.

If Arjun is in 2 and Mukund in 5, Trilok will be in 6 as he is above Mukund. Mahesh is in an even numbered floor, so he will be in 4. Bhupal is below Somesh. So, Bhupal will be in 1 and Somesh will be in 3.

So, we can’t determine if Arjun or Mukund is in 2 (or 5).

The floor of Bhupal is 1 and Mahesh is 4. So, Bhupal is three floors below Mahesh.

The arrangement in the alphabetical order would be Arjun – 6, Bhupal – 5, Mahesh -4 , Mukund – 3, Somesh -2, Trilok – 1

So, his position changes from 6 to 1 ie by 5.

There are two floors between the floors on which Q and V live. Q lives on a floor below V’s floor. Neither P nor T lives on a floor immediately above or immediately below the floor on which Q lives

Case 1 : Let V lives on 6th floor and Q on 3rd floor, => P cannot lives on 2nd and 4th floor, thus not possible.

Case 2 : Let V lives on 5th floor and Q lives on 2nd floor. Since, there is a gap of 1 floor between S and T, thus S and T live on either 6th or 4th floor. Then, again there is no even floor left for P.

Case 3 : V lives on 4th floor and Q lives on 1st floor.

There is only one floor between the floors on which S and T live, => S and T lives on either 5th or 3rd floor.

Since P lives on even floor, => P lives on 6th floor and R lives on 2nd floor.

Also, R is not a neighbour of T, => S lives on 3rd floor and T lives on 5th floor.

V lives on 4th floor.

=> Ans – (A)

There are two floors between the floors on which Q and V live. Q lives on a floor below V’s floor. Neither P nor T lives on a floor immediately above or immediately below the floor on which Q lives

Case 1 : Let V lives on 6th floor and Q on 3rd floor, => P cannot lives on 2nd and 4th floor, thus not possible.

Case 2 : Let V lives on 5th floor and Q lives on 2nd floor. Since, there is a gap of 1 floor between S and T, thus S and T live on either 6th or 4th floor. Then, again there is no even floor left for P.

Case 3 : V lives on 4th floor and Q lives on 1st floor.

There is only one floor between the floors on which S and T live, => S and T lives on either 5th or 3rd floor.

Since P lives on even floor, => P lives on 6th floor and R lives on 2nd floor.

Also, R is not a neighbour of T, => S lives on 3rd floor and T lives on 5th floor.

P lives on topmost floor.

=> Ans – (D)

There are two floors between the floors on which Q and V live. Q lives on a floor below V’s floor. Neither P nor T lives on a floor immediately above or immediately below the floor on which Q lives

Case 1 : Let V lives on 6th floor and Q on 3rd floor, => P cannot lives on 2nd and 4th floor, thus not possible.

Case 2 : Let V lives on 5th floor and Q lives on 2nd floor. Since, there is a gap of 1 floor between S and T, thus S and T live on either 6th or 4th floor. Then, again there is no even floor left for P.

Case 3 : V lives on 4th floor and Q lives on 1st floor.

There is only one floor between the floors on which S and T live, => S and T lives on either 5th or 3rd floor.

Since P lives on even floor, => P lives on 6th floor and R lives on 2nd floor.

Also, R is not a neighbour of T, => S lives on 3rd floor and T lives on 5th floor.

T lives on 5th floor and R on 2nd floor, thus there are 2 floors between them.

=> Ans – (C)

E has the second lowest number of floors.

D has more number of floors than C and H but less than F, => F > D > C , H

Also, F does not have the maximum number of floors, => F has second highest number of floors and D has 3rd highest.

H has less number of floors than both G and E, => H has the least floors and G has the highest floors.

Combining above statements, we get :

$\therefore$ G > F > D > C > E > H

Number of floors of F = 40 and C = 28

Let number of floors in E = $x$

=> $x + 28 = 40 + 7$

=> $x = 47 – 28 = 19$

=> Ans – (B)

E has the second lowest number of floors.

D has more number of floors than C and H but less than F, => F > D > C , H

Also, F does not have the maximum number of floors, => F has second highest number of floors and D has 3rd highest.

H has less number of floors than both G and E, => H has the least floors and G has the highest floors.

Combining above statements, we get :

$\therefore$ G > F > D > C > E > H

Number of floors of F = 40 and C = 28

H has the least number of floors and thus less than 28 i.e, 16

=> Ans – (D)

E has the second lowest number of floors.

D has more number of floors than C and H but less than F, => F > D > C , H

Also, F does not have the maximum number of floors, => F has second highest number of floors and D has 3rd highest.

H has less number of floors than both G and E, => H has the least floors and G has the highest floors.

Combining above statements, we get :

$\therefore$ G > F > D > C > E > H

Number of floors of F = 40 and C = 28

G has the highest number of floors, thus G has more floors than 40 i.e., 47 floors.

=> Ans – (E)

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, A and E live between D and F.

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.

Two letters between L and P: L _ _ P _ or _ L _ _ P or P _ _ L _ or _ P _ _ L

S is not placed immediately next to L and there’s only one letter between S and A with S being towards the right: L _ A P S  or  A P S _ L

E is not next to A: L E A P S is the only possibility.

So, P is placed second to the right of E.
