Eight people — Anil, Bhavya, Charan, Diksha, Eshwar, Fatima, Gagan and Hina — live on the eight floors of a building, one per floor (floor 1 is the lowest, floor 8 the topmost). Eshwar lives on the topmost floor and Hina on the lowest. Exactly 3 persons live above Gagan. Diksha lives immediately above Gagan and Anil immediately below him. Fatima lives immediately below Anil. Bhavya lives immediately below Eshwar. How many persons live below Anil?

Question

Accepted Answer

Three. Eshwar 8, Hina 1, Gagan 5 (three above), Diksha 6, Anil 4, Fatima 3, Bhavya 7, and Charan takes the last floor, 2. Anil is on 4, so Fatima, Charan and Hina (floors 3, 2, 1) live below him — three persons.
