Why this answer is correct
Given: Seven persons live on seven different floors numbered as 1, 2 and so on.
Based on the given conditions, we get the following possibilities-
1.K lives on the floor which is sixth from the top. Only two persons live above M. From these, we get-
| FLOOR NO. | PERSON |
|---|---|
| 7 | |
| 6 | |
| 5 | M |
| 4 | |
| 3 | |
| 2 | K |
| 1 |
- U lives two floors below M. T lives on the floor that immediately above U. From these, we get-
| FLOOR NO. | PERSON |
|---|---|
| 7 | |
| 6 | |
| 5 | M |
| 4 | T |
| 3 | U |
| 2 | K |
| 1 |
3. V lives for floors above K. A doesn't live on the first floor. V doesn't live above A. From these, we get the final table as follows-
| FLOOR NO. | PERSON |
|---|---|
| 7 | A |
| 6 | V |
| 5 | M |
| 4 | T |
| 3 | U |
| 2 | K |
| 1 | G |
Therefore, from the final table, we see that G lives on the first floor.
Hence, G lives on the first floor.
