Given
Question:
Mittal has a building in Ayyappa Society, Madhapur, which has five floors named from no. 1 to 5 in such a way that the lowermost floor is numbered as 1 and the topmost floor is numbered as 5.
Mittal has a building in Ayyappa Society, Madhapur, which has five floors named from no. 1 to 5 in such a way that the lowermost floor is numbered as 1 and the topmost floor is numbered as 5.
Five members live at different floors of the building, namely Rama, Lina, Tina, Charu and Anita, but not necessarily in the same order.
Also, these five work in different companies, namely A, B, C, D and E.
Tina stays on floor no. 2 and works in company D, and Charu stays on floor no. 5.
Also, the one who stays on floor no. 1 works in company A.
According to the given information puzzle will be-
Floor number | Members | Company |
5 | Charu | |
4 | ||
3 | ||
2 | Tina | D |
1 | A |
Statements:
I. Neither Lina nor Anita works in company A.
Floor number | Members | Company |
5 | Charu | |
4 | Lina / Anita | |
3 | Lina / Anita | |
2 | Tina | D |
1 | A |
Statement I alone is insufficient.
II. One who lives on floor no. 3 works in company C.
Floor number | Members | Company |
5 | Charu | |
4 | ||
3 | C | |
2 | Tina | D |
1 | A |
Statement II alone is insufficient.
III. Anita does not work in company C.
This excludes Anita from working in company C, but it does not help determine who lives on floor no. 3. Additional information is necessary. Statement III alone is insufficient.
Let’s combine all three statements:
Floor number | Members | Company |
5 | Charu | |
4 | Anita | |
3 | Lina | C |
2 | Tina | D |
1 | Rama | A |
So, Lina must be on floor no. 3 and works in company C.
Thus, the correct option is (d) All the statements, I, II and III together, are sufficient.
