Analysis: - Hemant is on the 5th floor, and Chetan has two people between him and Hemant. Therefore, Chetan is on the 3rd floor.
- Elena is not a neighbor of Hemant or Chetan, so she must be on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, or 7th floor. Since Fatima is on the floor second to Elena, Fatima is on the 2nd floor, and Elena is on the 1st floor.
- The person going to Delhi is an immediate neighbor of Elena, so the person going to Delhi is on the 2nd floor.
- There are three people between Hemant and the person going to Pune. Therefore, the person going to Pune is on the 8th floor.
- The person visiting Mumbai is not Hemant, Chetan, or their immediate neighbors. Therefore, Gauri is visiting Mumbai, and the person visiting Mumbai is on the 4th floor.
- The people visiting Kolkata and Lucknow are immediate neighbors, so they are on the 6th and 8th floors.
- There is one person between Arun and the person visiting Punjab, so Arun is on the 7th floor, and the person visiting Punjab is on the 5th floor.
- Bhavna is not visiting Mumbai, so Bhavna is visiting Chennai.
-
Conclusion: - Diksha is the only person left and must be visiting Lucknow. Since Lucknow is on the 8th floor, there are three people (Gauri, the person visiting Mumbai, and Arun) between Diksha and the person visiting Lucknow. So, there are
three persons between Diksha and the person visiting Lucknow.
