Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below: Eight persons K, L, M, N, O, P, Q and R live in an eight-floor building. Each of them owns bikes of different companies, viz. Pulsar, Fazer, Splendor, Himalayan, Gixxer, Duke, Unicorn and Apache, but not necessarily in the same order. The lowermost floor is numbered 1 and the topmost floor is numbered 8. L lives on an odd-numbered floor and likes Fazer. Four persons live between P and K. Only three persons live above R, who is just below N. There are three floors between the one who likes Duke and the one who likes Unicorn. K likes Gixxer and lives below N but does not live on an even-numbered floor. There are three floors between the floor on which R lives and the floor on which M lives. No one lives above the one who likes Unicorn. Two persons live between the one who likes Gixxer and Splendor. The one who likes Apache lives just above the one who likes Pulsar. There are four floors between the one who likes Fazer and O. P likes which of the following bike?
- Himalayan
- Apache
- Pulsar
- Unicorn
Correct answer: Unicorn
Solution
This is a floor-and-attribute arrangement puzzle. The clues about R, N, K, P, and the bike positions force a unique arrangement, and the bike assigned to P comes out as Unicorn. The top-floor restriction for Unicorn is especially important in reaching the final placement.
