G, H, I, J, K and L live on six different floors of the same building. The lowermost floor in the building is numbered 6, the floor above it is numbered 5, and so on till the topmost floor is numbered 1. J lives on an even numbered floor. G and K. each live on an odd numbered floor. I lives on floor number 2. H lives on an odd numbered floor, immediately above L and immediately below I. G does not live on the topmost floor. Who lives on the lowermost floor?

Answer:

A. J

Read Explanation:

  • Correct Answer: Option A (J)

  • Step-by-Step Solution:

  • In this problem, the building has floors numbered 1 (top) to 6 (bottom). Let's analyze the clues:

  • Given Clues:

    • I lives on floor number 2

    • H lives on an odd-numbered floor, immediately above L and immediately below I

    • Since I is on floor 2, H must be on floor 3 (odd ✓, immediately below floor 2)

    • Since H is immediately above L, L must be on floor 4

    • G and K each live on an odd-numbered floor

    • J lives on an even-numbered floor

    • G does not live on the topmost floor (not floor 1)

  • Remaining floors: 1, 5, 6 for G, J, K

    • Odd floors available: 1 and 5 → for G and K

    • Even floor available: 6 → for J

    • Since G does not live on floor 1 (topmost), G lives on floor 5

    • K lives on floor 1

    • J lives on floor 6 (lowermost)

  • Final Arrangement:

    Floor

    Person

    1 (Top)

    K

    2

    I

    3

    H

    4

    L

    5

    G

    6 (Bottom)

    J

  • Therefore, J lives on the lowermost floor (Floor 6).

  • Key Fact: In floor arrangement puzzles where numbering is inverted (highest number = lowest floor), always re-map your odd/even analysis carefully based on the actual physical position of floors.
