1) Answer: E
2) Answer: D
3) Answer: C
Directions (4-7) :
We have:
- The one who likes RB lives on odd numbered floor below the floor marked 6.
- Kittu lives just below of the one who likes RB.
- Kittu lives three floors away from Kapil, who neither likes CHMP nor JB.
That means, in case (1) Kittu lives on floor marked 2 and Kapil lives on floor marked 5, in case (2) Kittu lives on floor marked 4 and Kapil lives on floor marked 1, in case (3) Kittu lives on floor marked 4 and Kapil lives on floor marked 7.
- Number of floors below Kittu is same as number of floors above Mintu.
- None of the floors adjacent to Mintu is vacant.
That means, in case (1) Mintu lives on floor marked 7, in case (2) & case (3) Mintu lives on floor marked 5.
Based on above given information we have:
Again, we have:
- Priya who likes Harry potter lives on adjacent floor of Mintu.
- Two person lives between Priya and the one who likes L&F.
- The one who likes L&F and Kapil doesn’t lives on adjacent floor.
That means, in case (1a) Priya lives on floor marked 8 and Kapil likes L&F, in case (1b) Priya lives on floor marked 6 and the one who likes L&F lives on floor marked 2, in case (2) Priya lives on floor marked 6 and the one who likes L&F lives on floor marked 3, in case (3a) Priya lives on floor marked 6 and the one who likes L&F lives on floor marked 3, in case (3b) Priya lives on floor marked 6 and the one who likes L&F lives on floor marked 2.
- Zoya lives just above of the one who likes L&F.
- The one who works in PANCH lives two floors away from Zoya.
That means, in case (1a) Zoya lives on floor marked 6 and the one who likes PANCH lives on floor marked 4, in case (1b) Zoya lives on floor marked 3 and the one who likes PANCH lives on floor marked 1, case (2), case (3a) & case (3b) are not valid.
Based on above given information we have:
Case (2), case (3a) & case (3b) are not valid as Zoya lives just above the one who likes L&F.
Again, we have:
- The one who likes JB and Shera lives on adjacent floor.
- Shera neither likes MD nor likes RB.
Based on above given information we have final information as follows:
Case (1a) is not valid as Shera doesn’t likes RB.
4) Answer: C
