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 topmost floor?
AW
BT
CQ
DV
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. W
1. Fixing R = 3 and V = 6, then S = 1, U = 2, T = 4 as the clues require.
2. W = Q+1 must use the remaining consecutive floors 7 and 8, so Q = 7, W = 8.
3. The topmost floor 8 is occupied by **W**.
