On which floor number does David live?
This problem involves determining the floor each friend lives on based on a set of clues.
Floor Assignment Logic
- There are 6 friends: Amit, Vinay, Rajiv, Mukul, Chetan, and David.
- The building has 6 floors, numbered 1 (lowest) to 6 (topmost).
- We need to find David's floor number.
Applying the Clues
- Clue 1: Chetan lives on floor 1.
- Floor 1: Chetan
- Clue 2: Mukul lives on floor number 4.
- Floor 4: Mukul
- Clue 3: Vinay lives on the floor immediately above the floor on which Rajiv lives. Let Rajiv's floor be R and Vinay's floor be V. Then, $V = R + 1$.
- Clue 4: Amit lives on an even-numbered floor. Possible floors are 2, 4, or 6. Since Mukul is on floor 4, Amit can be on floor 2 or 6.
- Clue 5: Vinay does not live on floor number 6.
Deductions
- From $V = R + 1$, the possible pairs $(R, V)$ are: (1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5), (5,6).
- Chetan is on floor 1, so Rajiv cannot be on floor 1. This eliminates (1,2).
- Mukul is on floor 4. Vinay cannot be on the same floor as Mukul. This eliminates (3,4) where $V=4$.
- Vinay does not live on floor 6. This eliminates (5,6) where $V=6$.
- The remaining possible pairs for $(R, V)$ are (2,3) and (4,5).
- Mukul is on floor 4. Vinay cannot be on the same floor as Mukul. This eliminates (4,5) where $R=4$.
- Therefore, the only possible pair for $(R, V)$ is (2,3). Rajiv lives on floor 2, and Vinay lives on floor 3.
- Current assignments:
- Floor 1: Chetan
- Floor 2: Rajiv
- Floor 3: Vinay
- Floor 4: Mukul
- Amit lives on an even floor (2 or 6). Rajiv is on floor 2. Mukul is on floor 4. The only remaining even floor is 6. So, Amit lives on floor 6.
- The remaining friends are David. The remaining floor is 5.
- Final Arrangement:
- Floor 1: Chetan
- Floor 2: Rajiv
- Floor 3: Vinay
- Floor 4: Mukul
- Floor 5: David
- Floor 6: Amit
David lives on floor number 5.
