    Study the following information carefully and answer the question given below: Seven friends namely – Anmol, Bhura, Charul, Dhanu, Esha, Fareen and Gini are living in a building of seven floors, ground floor numbered 1, first floor numbered 2 and so on till the top-most floor which is numbered 7. Each person lives on a single floor. Total number of members in their family including themselves is – one, six, one, two, four, three and two but not necessarily in the same order. Gini’s family has 1 more person than Anmol’s family. Charul does not live on 6th floor. Bhura with his family lives exactly below one of the couples but above the two people who live alone. There is only one floor between the two people who live alone. There are three floors between Charul and Gini. Esha lives on 3rd floor with his wife only. There are total 4 persons in Bhura’s family including him.

    Which one of the following lives on fifth floor?

    A Charul Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Dhanu Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Fareen Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Gini Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Charul does not live on 6 th floor. Esha lives on 3 rd floor with his wife only. Bhura with his family lives exactly below one of the couples but above the two people who live alone. There is only one floor between the two people who live alone. There are total 4 persons in Bhura’s family including him. Bhura with his family lives exactly below one of the couples but above the two people who live alone. There is only one floor between the two people who live alone. There are total 4 persons in Bhura’s family including him. Two cases arise here: There are three floors between Charul and Gini Charul cannot sit on sixth floor and Esha is already on third floor so Gini must be living on first floor and Charul on fifth floor. Hence, Case 1 fails here, Gini’s family has 1 more person than Anmol’s family. Therefore, Gini’s family must be having 3 persons and hence, Anmol has total 2 persons in his family. Only left person, Charul must be having 6 persons.
