Inequality · solved example
Statements: F > B ≤ D < A Conclusions: I. D < A II. A ≥ D Which conclusion(s) definitely follow?
Solution
Reading the chain, conclusion I is true and conclusion II is true. Hence: both i and ii follow.
Puzzles · solved example
How many people sit between R and V?
Solution
The order is T, Q, U, P, R, S, V from the left; between R and V there are 1 people.
Floor puzzle · solved example
Who among the following lives on the lowest floor?
Solution
S takes floor 6, so T, being on an even floor, is on 2 or 4. Suppose T is on 2. Two people between T and P puts P on 5, leaving floors 1, 3 and 4 for Q, R and U. The only way R sits immediately above Q there is Q on 3 and R on 4, which forces U onto floor 1 and breaks the last clue. So T is on 4, which puts P on 1 with Q and R between them. That leaves 2, 3 and 5, where R immediately above Q means Q on 2 and R on 3, and U takes 5. The arrangement is P, Q, R, T, U, S from floor 1 upward, so P is lowest.
Floor puzzle · solved example
Who lives immediately above A?
Solution
A is on floor 3, and the floor immediately above, floor 4, is F, since A lives immediately below F. So F lives immediately above A.
