Each floor has same dimension. Who lives on the topmost floor? Statement I: Only three persons live above U. V lives three floors below U. X lives one floor above Y. Only three persons live between T and S. W lives below Z. Statement II: X lives four floors above Z. Only V and W live below Z. Y lives two floors above S. Neither U nor W live on an even numbered floor. Statement III: T lives one floor above X, who lives on a prime numbered floor. S lives four floors below T. V lives one floors above W.

      D Data given in only statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Data given in any one of the statements alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      From statement I alone, only three persons live above U. V lives three floors below U. X lives one floor above Y. Only three persons live between T and S. W lives below Z. We get: Either S or T lives on the topmost floor. Thus, data given in statement I alone is not sufficient. From statement II alone, X lives four floors above Z. Only V and W live below Z. Y lives two floors above S. Neither U nor W live on an even numbered floor. We get: Either Y or T lives on the topmost floor. Thus, data given in statement II alone, is not sufficient. From statement III alone, T lives one floor above X, who lives on a prime numbered floor. S lives four floors below T. V lives one floors above W. V lives on a prime numbered floor. Only two persons live between Z and Y. We get: T lives on the topmost floor. Thus, data given in statement III alone is sufficient. So, data given in only statement III alone is sufficient to answer the question.
