Eight people — Arjun, Bhavesh, Chitra, Dev, Esha, Farah, Gita and Hema — live in an eight-storey building, one per storey. Farah lives on the topmost storey. Exactly one person lives between Farah and Bhavesh. Dev lives on an odd-numbered storey above Bhavesh. Hema lives immediately below Bhavesh. Two people live between Hema and Gita. Arjun lives immediately above Gita. Chitra lives below Esha. Who lives on the storey just above Esha?

Question

Accepted Answer

Hema. Bottom to top: Chitra, Gita, Arjun, Esha, Hema, Bhavesh, Dev, Farah. (Farah is 8th, Bhavesh 6th, Dev 7th, Hema 5th; Gita must be 2nd, Arjun 3rd; of the free storeys 1st and 4th, Chitra takes the lower.) Esha is on the 4th storey, so Hema (5th) is just above her.
