Let's analyze the given information step-by-step to determine the floor on which each person lives:
- F lives on an even-numbered floor but not on floor 6: This means F lives on either floor 2 or 4.
- The sum of the floors on which D and F live is 9: This gives us two possibilities:
- If F is on floor 2, then D is on floor 7 (impossible since there are only 6 floors).
- If F is on floor 4, then D is on floor 5.
- The sum of the floors on which F and B live is 5: Since F is on floor 4, B must be on floor 1.
- E lives immediately below C: We know the floors of B, D, and F. This leaves floors 2, 3, and 6. Since E is below C, the only arrangement that works is E on floor 2 and C on floor 3.
So the final arrangement is:
- Floor 1: B
- Floor 2: E
- Floor 3: C
- Floor 4: F
- Floor 5: D
- Floor 6: A
The question asks how many people live between D and E. D is on floor 5 and E is on floor 2. Therefore, there are 2 people (C and F) living between D and E.
