Question
How many floors are there below the floor on which the
one who likes Hockey lives? Study the following information and answer the given questions below- Seven friends P, Q, R, S, T, U and V live on seven different floors of a building but not necessarily in the same order. The lowermost floor of the building is numbered 1 and the one above it is number two and so on till the topmost floor is number 7. Each of them likes a different games, Cricket, Golf, Tennis, Football, Hockey, Kabaddi and Badminton but not necessarily in the same order. P lives immediately above U and does not like Cricket. The one who likes Golf lives on one of the odd-numbered floor below U. T lives on one of the floor below Q, but does not live on the lowermost floor. There are three persons between Q and T. Only one person live between Q and the one who likes Cricket. The one who likes Badminton lives on one of the even numbered floor above the one who likes Cricket. Only two persons live between V and the one who likes Cricket. The one who like Hockey lives immediately above V, who does not like Golf. S lives on one of the floors above R. Only one person lives between the one who likes Tennis and the one who likes Football. S does not like Tennis. V does not like KabaddiSolution
T lives on one of the floor below Q, but does not live on the lowermost floor. There are three persons between Q and T. Only one person live between Q and the one who likes Cricket. P lives immediately above U and does not like Cricket. The one who likes Golf lives on one of the odd-numbered floor below U. We will get four cases -
Only two persons live between V and the one who likes Cricket. The one who like Hockey lives immediately above V, who does not like Golf. For this case 2, will be rejected. The one who likes Badminton lives on one of the even numbered floor above the one who likes Cricket. S lives on one of the floors above R. Only one person lives between the one who likes Tennis and the one who likes Football. S does not like Tennis. V does not like Kabaddi.          Case 1, gets invalid here. Case 1.a, gets invalid as V doesn’t like Golf.
Thus the final arrangement is - Case 2.a-
