How many people live between J and M?
To find the number of people between J and M, we need to determine the exact floor placement for each person based on the clues provided.
Step-by-Step Floor Mapping
"Only L lives above Y"
This means L must be on the topmost floor (Floor 6), and Y must be on the floor immediately below it (Floor 5). No one else can be above Y except L.
"Only M lives below K"
This implies that M is on the very bottom floor (Floor 1) and K is on the floor immediately above it (Floor 2). No one else can be below K except M.
"I lives on some floor below J"
We have two floors left: Floor 3 and Floor 4.
Since I is below J, J must be on Floor 4 and I must be on Floor 3.
Final Floor Arrangement
| Floor Number | Person |
|---|---|
| 6 | L |
| 5 | Y |
| 4 | J |
| 3 | I |
| 2 | K |
| 1 | M |
Conclusion
The question asks how many people live between J (Floor 4) and M (Floor 1).
The people living between them are I (Floor 3) and K (Floor 2).
There are two people living between them.
