Each of the floors consists of 2 flats - flat-1 and flat-2. Flat-1 of floor-2 is immediately above flat-1 of floor-1 and immediately below flat-1 of floor-3 and the same way followed by flat-2. Flat 2 is east of Flat 1.
Based on the given conditions, we get the following possibilities:
1. E lives immediately below A.
2. R lives below E but in different flat .
From these, we get two cases,
Case 1
|
|
Flat - 1 |
Flat - 2 |
|
Floor 3 |
A |
|
|
Floor 2 |
E |
|
|
Floor 1 |
|
R |
Case2
|
|
Flat - 1 |
Flat - 2 |
|
Floor 3 |
|
A |
|
Floor 2 |
|
E |
|
Floor 1 |
R |
|
3. R lives immediately below B.
4. No one lives to the east of B. Hence Case 2 gets invalid.
From these we get,
|
|
Flat - 1 |
Flat - 2 |
|
Floor 3 |
A |
|
|
Floor 2 |
E |
B |
|
Floor 1 |
|
R |
5. V lives in a flat on floor 1.
6. D is a person living in the building.
From these, we get the final arrangement,
|
|
Flat - 1 |
Flat - 2 |
|
Floor 3 |
A |
D |
|
Floor 2 |
E |
B |
|
Floor 1 |
V |
R |
Therefore, from the final arrangement, E is in Flat 1 and Floor 2.
Hence, E is in Flat 1 and Floor 2.
