Nine persons namely – A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I live in a nine floored building marked 1 to 9 from bottom to top. Each person has different working experience viz.- 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, 21, 24, and 26. All the information is not necessary in the same order. Note: The experience of the persons living on the adjacent floor is neither a common factor nor a common multiple. B lives on an even number floor. C, who lives on any floor below floor number 4, lives three floors away from B and doesn't have experience of 12 years. H lives on any floor above the one whose experience is 12 years but not adjacent to B's floor. Neither B nor C lives on the adjacent floor of I, who lives four floors away from the one whose experience is 7 years.

G lives three floors above the one whose experience is 21 years. The number of persons living between B and I is the same as the number of persons living below A, whose experience is 17 years. The number of persons living between G and the one whose experience is 26 years is one more than the number of persons living between the one whose experience is 12 years and H. Experience of I is neither 26 nor 14 years. The one whose experience is 14 years lives two floors away from D. The number of persons living between D and B is the same as between D and the one whose experience is 9 years. H doesn't live on the topmost floor. F has less experience than E.

Question :26

puzzle-test-verbal-reasoning

We have:

• B lives on an even number floor.

• C, who lives on any floor below floor number 4, lives three floors away from B and doesn't have experience of 12 years. That means, in case (2) B lives on floor number 6, in case (1) B lives on floor number 4.

• The number of persons living between B and I is the same as the number of persons living below A, whose experience is 17 years.

That means, in case (2) I lives on floor number 8, case (1) is not valid.
