The building which houses the least number of offices has 5 offices. The building which has the second highest number of offices has 23 offices. S has 11 less number of offices than Q.

If the number of offices in P is an even number which is divisble by 2 as well as 3. How many offices does P have?

• B. 24
• C. 16
• D. 18
• E. 12

Answer 1

The correct option is D 18

According to the given information arrangment is as follows:-
$S>\frac{T}{R}$
U > Q > P
By combining both the Eqs. (i) and (ii) we get,
U > Q > P > S > R > T $\to$ Building
23 18 12 11 5 $\to$ Offices
The difference between Q and S is 11.
The second highest number of offices is 23 offices.
The least number of offices has 5 offices.

If the number of offices in P is an even number which is divisible by 2 and 3. then P have 18 offices.
