Six persons, Bhavesh, Chitra, Dinesh, Ekta, Firoz and Gita, live on a six-storey building with floors numbered one (lowest) to six (top). Dinesh lives on the top floor and Chitra on the lowest. Ekta lives on an odd-numbered floor. Exactly one person lives between Firoz and Bhavesh, Bhavesh being higher. Gita lives immediately below Bhavesh. How many persons live between Firoz and Dinesh?

Question

Accepted Answer

Three. Floors 2 to 5 remain. Firoz/Bhavesh can be 2/4 (Gita 3, Ekta 5) or 3/5 (Gita 4, Ekta 2, but 2 is even). So Chitra 1, Firoz 2, Gita 3, Bhavesh 4, Ekta 5, Dinesh 6. Between Firoz and Dinesh live Gita, Bhavesh and Ekta: three persons.
