Eight people A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are staying in a building which has four floors and each floor has two flats. The lowest floor of the building is numbered 1 and the topmost is numbered 4. The flats are numbered 1 and 2 such that the leftmost flat is numbered 1 and the rightmost flat is numbered 2. Only one person is staying in each flat. G, who stays on one of the floors below D, stays on an even-numbered floor and in the even-numbered flat. There is only one floor between E and A, but A lives above H. B and H stay on an odd-numbered floor and both stay in the same numbered flat. F stays on a floor immediately below the floor of E, but the flat numbers are not necessarily the same. F and H are not staying on the same floor. A stays in an odd-numbered flat but not below E. B stays on which floor and flat respectively?
- 3,2
- 1,1
- 2,1
- 2,3
Correct answer: 1,1
Solution
This is a floor-and-flat arrangement puzzle. Using the clues about odd/even floors, same flat number for B and H, and the relative positions of A, E, F, and H, the only consistent placement gives B on floor 1, flat 1. All other options violate at least one condition.
