How many floors does building H possibly have?
1. 56
2. 41
3. 30
4. 16
5. 35
Answer: Option D.
G>F>D>C>E>H
│ │
40 28
E + C = 7 + F ⇒ E + 28 = 7 + 40
E = 19.
As E is having 19 floors, it implies that H can have less than 19 floors. So that, from options building H has 16 floors which is less than 19.
Which of the following is true regarding the number of floors in building G?
1. The difference between number of floors in G and C is less than 12.
2. Only D has more number of floors than G.
3. G has more number of floors than only one building
4. No other building has less floors than G.
5. G possibly has 47 floors
Answer: Option E.
G>F>D>C>E>H
│ │
40 28
E + C = 7 + F ⇒ E + 28 = 7 + 40
E = 19.
F=40, G is greater than F.
G is having maximum no. of floors; it implies that only option E is correct.
