Six neighbours, Gauri, Harsh, Ishaan, Jaya, Kunal and Leela, each live on a different floor of a six-floor block, floors numbered one (lowest) to six (top). Ishaan lives on the top floor and Jaya on the lowest. Exactly one floor lies between Gauri's and Harsh's floors, Harsh being higher. Leela lives immediately above Gauri. Kunal lives on an even-numbered floor. Who lives immediately below Gauri?

Question

Accepted Answer

Kunal. Gauri/Harsh can be on floors 2/4 or 3/5. If 2/4, Leela is on 3 and Kunal on 5, which is odd, so this fails. Hence Gauri 3, Harsh 5, Leela 4, Kunal 2 (with Jaya 1 and Ishaan 6). Gauri is on floor 3, so Kunal (floor 2) lives immediately below her.
