Eight neighbours — Asha, Bhanu, Chetan, Divya, Esha, Farhan, Gopal and Hema — live one per floor in an eight-storey building, counting floors upward from the ground. Gopal lives on the top floor. Exactly three people live between Gopal and Farhan. Bhanu lives immediately below Farhan. Divya lives on an odd-numbered floor below Bhanu. Hema lives immediately above Divya. Asha lives immediately above Farhan. Chetan does not live immediately above Asha. How many people live between Hema and Asha?

Question

Accepted Answer

Two. Gopal is on the top (8th) floor, so Farhan (three people between) is on the 4th and Bhanu on the 3rd. Divya is on an odd floor below the 3rd, i.e. the 1st, and Hema on the 2nd. Asha is on the 5th. Chetan and Esha take the 6th and 7th; Chetan is not on the 6th, so Chetan is on the 7th and Esha on the 6th. Between Hema and Asha live Bhanu and Farhan — two people.
