Directions: Study the following information to answer the question. Eight persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H live on eight different floors of an 8-storey building (1 to 8 from bottom to top). C lives on the 4th floor. A lives above C. E lives immediately below A. G lives on an odd-numbered floor. H lives on the top floor. B lives two floors below G. F does not live adjacent to C. How many persons live between A and B?
- Two
- Three
- Four
- Five
Correct answer: Four
Solution
C is on 4th floor, so A must be above it and E immediately below A. H is on 8th floor. Using the odd-floor condition for G and the condition that B is two floors below G, the valid arrangement places A and B four floors apart, so four persons live between them.
