Directions (83-87): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below-

Six persons are living on different floors of six storey building. Ground floor is numbered as 1st floor and just above the floor is numbered as 2nd floor and so on till the topmost floor is numbered as 6th floor. For Diwali Each of them made rangoli on their floor in different colours. B lives on an even numbered floor but neither made rangoli in Hazel nor purple colour. Three persons live between B and the one who made rangoli in green colour. One person lives between the ones who made rangoli in green and blue colour. E lives below the one who made rangoli in blue colour but not just below. E does not make rangoli in purple and green colour. The number of persons live below A is same as the number of persons live above E. D lives above the one who made rangoli in purple colour but not just above. The one who made rangoli in yellow colour lives above the one who made rangoli in violet colour. C lives above F. E does not make rangoli in violet colour .

The number of persons lives above D is one less than the number of persons live below ____.

The correct option is F.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let's determine the floor arrangement (numbered 1 to 6 from bottom to top) and their respective rangoli colors based on the given clues:

1. Placement of B and Green Rangoli:

B lives on an even-numbered floor (2, 4, or 6). There are three persons between B and the one who made Green rangoli. This is only possible if B is on Floor 2 and Green is on Floor 6 (or vice versa).

2. Placement of Blue Rangoli, E, and A:

One person lives between Green (Floor 6) and Blue rangolis, placing Blue on Floor 4.
E lives below Blue (Floor 4) but not directly below it (not Floor 3), and E doesn't make Green rangoli. Thus, E lives on Floor 1.
Since 5 people live above E (Floor 1), exactly 5 people must live below A, placing A on Floor 6 (Green rangoli).

3. Placement of D, C, F, and Purple Rangoli:

D lives above Purple, but not directly above it. Placing D on Floor 5 means Purple is on Floor 3.
Since C lives above F, C must be on Floor 4 (Blue rangoli) and F must be on Floor 3 (Purple rangoli).

4. Remaining Colors (Hazel, Yellow, Violet):

Yellow lives above Violet, and E does not make Violet rangoli. Also, B does not make Hazel. This means:
D (Floor 5) = Yellow
B (Floor 2) = Violet
E (Floor 1) = Hazel

Final Floor Arrangement:

Floor 6: A (Green)
Floor 5: D (Yellow)
Floor 4: C (Blue)
Floor 3: F (Purple)
Floor 2: B (Violet)
Floor 1: E (Hazel)

Answering the Question:

Number of persons living above D (Floor 5) = 1 (A).

This number (1) is one less than 2. The person who has 2 persons living below them (Floor 1 and Floor 2) is F (Floor 3).
