Direction: Study the following information carefully and answer the question. Six persons P, Q, R, A, B, and C are living in a three-storey building such that the ground floor is numbered 1, the floor above it is numbered 2, and the top floor is numbered 3. Each floor has two flats, X and Y. Flat X of floor 2 is immediately above flat X of floor 1 and immediately below flat X of floor 3. Similarly, flat Y of floor 2 is immediately above flat Y of floor 1 and immediately below flat Y of floor 3. Flat X is to the west of flat Y. They are all from different countries. P lives on an odd-numbered floor in flat X. The one who is from Finland lives immediately above C in the same flat. A lives to the west of C. P and the one who is from Finland do not live on the same floor. Neither A nor Q is from Brazil. C is either from Mexico or from Nepal. There is one floor between Q and the one who is from Serbia, who lives above Q. B does not live in flat Y. The one who is from Canada lives on the same floor as the one who is from Nepal. Which of the following combinations is not correct?
- R - Flat X
- P - Flat X
- Q - Mexico
- B - Serbia
Correct answer: R - Flat X
Solution
From the arrangement, P must be in flat X on an odd floor, and the Finland person must be immediately above C in the same flat. Applying the country and floor restrictions fixes the remaining persons, and R cannot be in flat X. Hence the incorrect combination is R - Flat X.
