Eight persons P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W live in a building of eight floors such that the topmost floor is numbered 8 and the lowermost floor is numbered 1, but not necessarily in the same order. They shop on eight different e-commerce websites, viz. Flipkart, Ajio, Myntra, Jabong, Amazon, Shopclues, Jiomart, and Tata Cliq, but not necessarily in the same order. The one who shops on Flipkart lives immediately above the one who shops on Shopclues. Neither V nor P shops on Flipkart, Tata Cliq, or Myntra. Three persons live between V and S, and S lives below V and does not shop on Jabong. Only three persons live between W and R, who shops on Amazon. R lives on one of the even-numbered floors above W and Q, who does not shop on Flipkart or Myntra and also does not live on the second floor. Two persons live between Q and the one who shops on Jabong. Three persons live between the one who shops on Jabong and the one who shops on Ajio. The number of persons living between the one who shops on Jabong and R is the same as the number of persons living between the one who shops on Ajio and P. T lives on one of the floors below U. Both W and Q live on even-numbered floors. Who among the following lives on the fourth floor?
- S
- ()
- The one who shops on Shopclues
- Both (b) and (c)
Correct answer: Both (b) and (c)
Solution
This is a multi-constraint floor arrangement puzzle. By applying the conditions about even floors, fixed gaps, and shopping relations, the arrangement leads to the fourth floor being occupied by the person in option (b) and the one who shops on Shopclues, so both are correct.
