Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the ...
We know that:
  • E is the youngest one and lives on 2nd floor.
  • H's age is 3 times to that of C but he is not the eldest in the group. It means H is not 72 years old and only combination left is 12 and 36 years old so C is 12 years old and H is 36 years old.
  • The sum of the age of C and E is equal to F. As C is 12 years old then E must be 10 years old and F must be 22 years old.
  • The difference of age of B and G is 4 times to that of C's age and B lives just above G. As C is 12 years old then B's and G's age difference must be 48 years and B is elder than G so B's age must be 72 years old and G's age must be 24 years old. Now D's age must be 26 years old.
  • As we know that H lives on an odd numbered floor above E and two persons are living between H and C so we get three cases-
Case 1:
Case 2:
Case 3:
Take Case 1:
  • The one who is the eldest person in the group lives just below the person whose age is just half of the eldest person. It means B is just below H, because B is the eldest and H's age is 36 years. So, this case gets rejected.
Take Case 2:
  • The one who is the eldest person in the group lives just below the person whose age is just half of the eldest person. It means B is just below H, because B is eldest and H's age is 36 years.
  • A is 20 years old and lives just above H.
  • Two persons are living between H and C.
  • The number of persons living between B and D is same as B and F. D lives one of the floors above F. we can see that this is only possible when D is above B otherwise not possible so this case gets rejected.
Take Case 3:
  • The one who is the eldest person in the group lives just below the person whose age is just half of the eldest person. It means B is just below H, because B is eldest and H's age is 36 years.
  • A is 20 years old and lives just above H.
  • Two persons are living between H and C, C can be live at 2nd or 8th but 2nd already occupied so C lives on 8th.
  • The number of persons living between B and D is same as B and F. D lives one of the floors above F. we can see that this is only possible when D is above B otherwise not possible. So D lives on 7th then F lives on 1st. last G lives on 3rd floor.
Here is the Final table:
The youngest person is E who is 10 years old and G lives exactly above E. Hence nobody lives between them.

- A is 20 years old and lives just above H.
- B doesn't live on the 8th floor.
- The number of persons living between B and D is the same as the number of persons living between B and F.
- B lives on an even-numbered floor.
- D lives on one of the floors above F.
- The eldest person lives just below the person whose age is just half of the eldest person.

Solution:

From the given information:
- E is the youngest and lives on the 2nd floor.
- B lives above G.
- B lives on an even-numbered floor.
- A is 20 years old and lives above H.
- E is the youngest and lives on the 2nd floor.
