Eight people P-W live on floors 1 (ground) to 8. R is on floor 3. Two persons live between R and V. W is immediately above Q. One person lives between T and U, with T above U. One person lives between R and S, and S is below T. Who lives on the fifth floor?

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. P
1. R = 3, and 'two between R and V' forces V = 6.
2. 'One between R and S' gives S = 1 or 5; S below T rules out 5, so S = 1; then U = 2, T = 4 (T above U, one between).
3. W = Q+1 fits Q = 7, W = 8, leaving floor 5 for **P**.
