Solutions
1) Eight friends Q, T, J, H, W, L, S, Z lives in a multi storey building such that topmost floor is numbered 1 and ground floor is numbered 8.
2) Z lives on an odd numbered floor but lives above floor numbered 4. From this we can say that Z lives on floor numbered 7. Z does not live on 5th floor.
3) Two people live between Z and J, who lives just above S.
Floor | People |
8 | |
7 | Z |
6 | |
5 | |
4 | J |
3 | S |
2 | |
1 | |
4) Number of floors below Z is same as number of floors above L. So, from this we can say that L lives on floor numbered 2nd.
5) Q lives below J. After arranging the only position we can position Q is at floor numbered 1.
Floor | People |
8 | |
7 | Z |
6 | |
5 | |
4 | J |
3 | S |
2 | L |
1 | Q |
6) Both H and W do not live on the topmost floor. Hence, T lives on the topmost floor.
7) H lives on an even-numbered floor. Hence H lives on floor number 6. And W lives on floor number 5.
So our final arrangement is,
Floor | People |
8 | T |
7 | Z |
6 | H |
5 | W |
4 | J |
3 | S |
2 | L |
1 | Q |
Hence, from the above arrangement, “J” lives on floor number 4.
