About Floor Puzzle: Who Lives Where in an Eight-Storey Building

CLAT's Logical Reasoning section includes floor-based arrangement puzzles: a set of people are placed on the different floors of a building according to a list of clues, and each question asks about their relative positions -- no outside knowledge is needed beyond the clues given up front.

This quiz is built around a single floor puzzle: eight friends living on the eight floors of a building, fully pinned down by seven clues given up front. Every question below is answered using that one arrangement -- nothing new is introduced question to question.

The twenty questions attached to it move through the kind of angles these puzzles are actually tested from: direct floor look-ups, counting questions, "which of the following is true" questions, a hypothetical floor-swap, and a multi-statement combination question.

Only five of the twenty questions are shown on any single attempt, so replaying this quiz brings a genuinely different mix of angles on the same arrangement rather than the same five memorised by rote.
