Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below.

Eight executives — P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W — occupy office suites across four different floors of a corporate building, numbered 1 to 4 from bottom to top. Each floor contains two suites: Suite 1 (West wing) and Suite 2 (East wing). Suite 1 of floor 2 is directly above Suite 1 of floor 1 and directly below Suite 1 of floor 3. Similarly, Suite 2 of floor 2 is directly above Suite 2 of floor 1 and directly below Suite 2 of floor 3.

S occupies Suite 1 on an odd-numbered floor. There is a gap of two floors between S and U, and both occupy the same suite type. V occupies the suite to the east of U on the topmost floor. W occupies Suite 1 on an even-numbered floor. Q occupies a suite on the floor immediately above W, but in a different suite type. P occupies a suite directly above R in the same suite type. T occupies one of the remaining suites.

Who among the following occupies the suite to the east of W?

The correct answer is P.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

We are given 4 floors (numbered 1 to 4 from bottom to top) and 2 suites per floor: Suite 1 (West wing) and Suite 2 (East wing).

Step 1: Determine the positions of S and U
- S occupies Suite 1 on an odd-numbered floor (Floor 1 or Floor 3).
- There is a gap of two floors between S and U, and both occupy the same suite type (Suite 1).
- If S were on Floor 3, U would need to be two floors away on Floor 6 or below Floor 1, which are invalid. Therefore, S must be on Floor 1, Suite 1.
- Accounting for the two-floor gap (Floors 2 and 3), U occupies Floor 4, Suite 1.

Step 2: Determine the position of V
- V occupies the suite to the east of U on the topmost floor (Floor 4).
- Since U is in Suite 1 (West wing), V occupies Floor 4, Suite 2 (East wing).

Step 3: Determine the positions of W and Q
- W occupies Suite 1 on an even-numbered floor (Floor 2 or Floor 4). Since Floor 4, Suite 1 is already occupied by U, W must occupy Floor 2, Suite 1.
- Q occupies a suite on the floor immediately above W (Floor 3), but in a different suite type (Suite 2). Thus, Q occupies Floor 3, Suite 2.

Step 4: Determine the positions of P and R
- P occupies a suite directly above R in the same suite type.
- In Suite 1, Floor 4 is occupied by U, Floor 2 by W, and Floor 1 by S, leaving no two vertically adjacent empty suites.
- In Suite 2, Floor 4 is occupied by V and Floor 3 by Q. The remaining empty suites on Floor 2 and Floor 1 in Suite 2 are vertically adjacent.
- Therefore, P occupies Floor 2, Suite 2 and R occupies Floor 1, Suite 2.

Step 5: Determine the position of T
- The only remaining unoccupied suite is Floor 3, Suite 1, which is occupied by T.

Final Layout:
- Floor 4: Suite 1 (West) = U, Suite 2 (East) = V
- Floor 3: Suite 1 (West) = T, Suite 2 (East) = Q
- Floor 2: Suite 1 (West) = W, Suite 2 (East) = P
- Floor 1: Suite 1 (West) = S, Suite 2 (East) = R

W occupies Suite 1 on Floor 2. The suite to the east of W on Floor 2 is Suite 2, which is occupied by P.
