IBPS PO General Awareness: Floor Arrangement questions with solutions

Q1. Study the following information carefully and answer the question given below: There are 16 floors in a building. Six persons A, B, C, D, E, and F have to attend a unique function, each on a different floor. No two functions are organised on the same floor. There are 6 lifts which are faulty, i.e., if button 2 is pressed in a lift, it may stop on floor 2 or above 2. Each person uses a different lift. The functions are Anniversary, Birthday, Meeting, Interview, Orientation, and Shooting. There is a gap of one floor between the floors on which B and F step down. B uses lift 2 and steps down on an even-numbered floor above F. The difference between the button number pressed by F and the floor on which he steps down is 11. C steps down on the floor pressed by F. Lift 1 stops on the floor on which Anniversary is being conducted. Interview is conducted on the floor just above the floor on which Anniversary is being held. There is a gap of 3 floors between F and D, and F steps down above D. C attends Meeting. The number of floors between A and D is the same as between E and C. A steps down on the floor immediately above the floor on which E steps down and he uses lift 3. The sum of the floors on which lift 4 and lift 5 stop is 17, and lift 5 stops on an even-numbered floor. D attends Birthday and is above the floor on which A steps down. Orientation is organised on the floor below the floor on which Shooting is held. Who among the following attends the Orientation function? A) A B) C C) D D) F

1. A
2. C
3. D
4. F

Answer: F

By using the floor gaps and lift constraints, the positions of all six persons can be fixed. After assigning Anniversary, Interview, Meeting, Birthday, and Shooting, the remaining function Orientation is assigned to F.
