Uday, Varsha, Yash, Zoya, Abhay, Bindu and Chetna live on the seven floors of a Lucknow apartment block, one per floor (the ground floor is the first floor and the top is the seventh). Varsha lives on the top floor, and Abhay lives immediately below her. Exactly two people live between Varsha and Uday. Zoya lives immediately above Uday. Yash lives on an even-numbered floor below Uday, and Chetna does not live on the ground floor. Who lives on the third floor?

Question

Accepted Answer

Chetna. Varsha 7th, Abhay 6th. Two people between Varsha and Uday puts Uday on the 4th floor, so Zoya is 5th. Floors 1-3 remain for Yash, Bindu and Chetna: Yash must take the even floor 2, Chetna cannot take floor 1, so Chetna is on the 3rd floor and Bindu on the ground floor.
