Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLet's denote the floors from 1 (lowermost) to 6 (topmost).
O lives on floor numbered 4.
Floor | Person |
6 | |
5 | |
4 | O |
3 | |
2 | |
1 |
Only two people live between O and P.
Since O is on floor 4, P can be on floor 1 (two people between O and P: floors 3 and 2) or floor 7 (which doesn't exist).
So, P must be on floor 1.
Floor | Person |
6 | |
5 | |
4 | O |
3 | |
2 | |
1 | P |
Only M lives between O and N.
Y lives immediately below O.
O is on floor 4, so Y lives on floor 3.
Since O is on floor 4, M must be on floor 5, and N must be on floor 6.
Floor | Person |
6 | N |
5 | M |
4 | O |
3 | Y |
2 | |
1 | P |
The only remaining person is Z, and the only remaining floor is 2.
So, Z lives on floor 2.
Floor | Person |
6 | N |
5 | M |
4 | O |
3 | Y |
2 | Z |
1 | P |
Based on our deductions, Z lives on floor numbered 2.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
