options: G
H
I
F​

Answer 1

Answer:

I lives between the floors of J and F.

Step-by-step explanation:

If FGHIJ are living in a building with 5 floors, and I H are living on even numbered floors then. There are two even numbers till 5, which are 2 and 4. So I Lives on 2nd floor and H lives on 4th floor. J lives above I, which means he lives on 3rd floor. G is not below I, which means he is not on 1st floor, therefore G lives on 5th floor which means he lives above H. So as till now, we know that- I lives on 2nd floor ( I lives on even numbered floor), J lives on 3rd floor ( J lives above I but now on topmost floor) , H lives on 4th floor ( H lives on even numbered floor) , G lives on 5th floor ( G does not live below I) , So that leaves us with F unknown. And now we can calculate the where F lives, as there is only one floor left, which is 1st floor, So F lives on 1st floor. Now the question is who lives between J and F. and the answer is I lives between the floors of J and F.

Answer 2

Answer:

I lives on the floor between J and F.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can break the question into the following statements.

• There are 5 people, each living on 1 floor of a building.
• I and H live on even-numbered floors, i.e., the 2nd and 4th floors.
• J lives above I, but not on the topmost floor, i.e., the 5th floor.
• G doesn't live above I.

Now, from the given conditions, we can understand the following -

• I lives on the 2nd floor because it is mentioned that J lives above I, and not on the 5th floor.
• Consequently, J lives on the 3rd floor.
• So, H lives on the 4th floor, because it is mentioned that H and I live on even floors, and I lives on the 2nd floor.
• Now, it is also mentioned that G doesn't live above I, so G lives on the 5th floor.
• The only floor left vacant is the 1st floor, so we're free to assume that F lives on the first floor.

Based on our drawings, we can conclude that -
5th floor - G
4th floor - H
3rd floor - J
2nd floor - I
1st floor - F

We are asked who stays on the floor between J and F. From our conclusions, we can understand that I lives between J and F, on the 2nd floor.
