Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

G

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
5M
4
3
2K
1

 

  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
5M
4T
3U
2K
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
7A
6V
5M
4T
3U
2K
1G

 

Therefore, from the final table, we see that G lives on the first floor.

Hence, G lives on the first floor.

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
5M
4
3
2K
1

 

2. U lives two floors below M. T lives on the floor that immediately above U. From these, we get-

FLOOR NO.PERSON
7
6
5M
4T
3U
2K
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
7A
6V
5M
4T
3U
2K
1G

 

Therefore, from the final table, we see that U lives three floors below V.

Hence, U lives three floors below V.
