<h2 id="content-id-1490-2">Solutions of Flat and Floor Questions</h2>

Common Solution for Q:1 - Q:5

1. P lives on floor 2 but does not live in flat A. (i.e. P lives in Flat B on floor 2)

2. O lives four floors above S and both live in different flats.

Now, we have two cases i.e. Case 1 and Case 2.

3. M lives to the east of T who is two floors above R.

4. Q lives immediately above M and immediately below L who lives in flat B.

Now, we can eliminate case 2 (Because flat B of floor 5 is occupied) but we have two possibilities in Case 1.

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td> </td>
			<td colspan="2" rowspan="1">Case 1(a)</td>

		<tr>
			<td>1</td>
			<td>R</td>
			<td>S</td>
			<td>R</td>
			<td>S</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

5. K lives two floors above N and does not live in flat B. (i.e. K lives in Flat A)

Now, we can eliminate Case 1(b).

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td> </td>
			<td colspan="2" rowspan="1">Case 1(a)</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>Floors</td>
			<td>Flat A</td>
			<td>Flat B</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>5</td>
			<td>O</td>
			<td>L</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>4</td>
			<td>K</td>
			<td>Q</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>3</td>
			<td>T</td>
			<td>M</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>2</td>
			<td>N</td>
			<td>P</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>1</td>
			<td>R</td>
			<td>S</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

This is our final arrangement.

Q:1 The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Second

Clearly, N lives on the second floor.

Hence, the correct answer is Second.

Q:2 The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. S

Clearly, S lives in flat B of first floor.

Hence, the correct answer is S.

Q:3 The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. O, L

Clearly, O, L live on fifth floor.

Hence, the correct answer is O, L.

Q:4 The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. P

Except for P, all live in Flat A. So, P is odd.

Hence, the correct answer is P.

Q:5 The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. R

Clearly, R lives to the west of S.

Hence, the correct answer is R.

 

Common Solution for (Q:6 - Q:10)

1. O lives in Flat A on an even-numbered floor.

2. N lives either immediately above or immediately below O in the same flat.

Now, we have 3 cases i.e. Case 1, Case 2, and Case 3.

	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td colspan="1" rowspan="2">Floors</td>

		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

3. Q is to the east of T who lives on floor 4 above S but not immediately above.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2 (because T is immediately above S in this case) and Case 3 (because floor 4 is already occupied).

4. S lives to the west of P.

5. R lives to the North of P and northeast of O.

6. So, M lives in flat B on floor 2.

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td colspan="1" rowspan="2">Floors</td>
			<td colspan="2" rowspan="1">Case 1</td>

			<td>B</td>

		<tr>
			<td>4</td>
			<td>T</td>
			<td>Q</td>

			<td>3</td>
			<td>N</td>
			<td>R</td>

		<tr>
			<td>2</td>
			<td>O</td>
			<td>M</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>1</td>
			<td>S</td>
			<td>P</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

This is our final arrangement.

Q:6 The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 3

Clearly, 3 people i.e. N, R, and O live between Q and M.

Hence, the correct answer is 3. 

Q:7 The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. R

Clearly, R lives in flat B on floor 3.

Hence, the correct answer is R. 

Q:8 The correct answer is Option 5 i.e. S

Clearly, S lives to the southwest of M.

Hence, the correct answer is S. 

Q:9 The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. N

Clearly, N lives in flat A on floor 3.

Hence, the correct answer is N. 

Q:10 The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. O, M

Clearly, O, M is the correct pair.

Hence, the correct answer is O, M.
