In five even-numbered houses, 10–18: K lives at the top; J is one house above H; L is the lowest; M is between H and K. Who is at 14?
J
The five houses are numbered 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 (lowest to highest).
K lives at the top, so K = 18. L is the lowest, so L = 10.
H, J and M occupy 12, 14 and 16. J is one house above H, so J = H + 2.
Case 1: H = 12, J = 14, M = 16. M (16) lies between H (12) and K (18) — valid.
Case 2: H = 14, J = 16, M = 12. M (12) does not lie between H (14) and K (18) — invalid.
So the arrangement is L-10, H-12, J-14, M-16, K-18.
Hence, J lives at house 14.
