Answer 1

The correct option is B Q- Floor numbered six


The building has 8 different floors. Each floor has a different superhero. According to the question,
The one who likes Thor lives on even numbered floor.
Possibility of floors (2, 4, 6, 8)
Only three people lives between the one who like Thor and M.
$\underset{–}{?}\to Thor---\underset{–}{M}$
Only two people live between M and N.
M
-
-
N
N does not lives on lower most floor.
Only three people live between N and the one who likes Hulk.
$\underset{–}{N}---\underset{–}{?}\to Hulk$
O lives on an even numbered floor and it lives immediately above K.
possibility for O (2,4,6,8)
K lives neither on floor number 3 nor 5.
It means O which is immediately above k does not live on floor number 4 and 6.
So, new possibility for O is (2,8).
Only two people live between K and the one who likes Nova.
$K--\underset{–}{?}\to Nova$
Only one person live between the one who likes Nova and Ironman and the Ironman is below the one who likes Nova.
$\underset{–}{?}\to Nova-\underset{–}{?}\to Ironman$
L lives immediately above Q.
$\underset{–}{L}\underset{–}{Q}$
Only one person live between Q and the one who likes Captain America.
$\underset{–}{?}\to CaptianAmerica-Q$
The one who likes Wolverine lives immediately above the one who like Batman.
$\underset{–}{?}\to Wolverine\underset{–}{?}\to Batman$
From the above information, we get
$\begin{array}{ccc}Floors& Peoples& Superheros\\ 8& O& Wolverine\\ 7& K& Batman\\ 6& R& Thor\\ 5& N& CaptainAmerica\\ 4& L& Nova\\ 3& Q& Superman\\ 2& M& Ironman\\ 1& P& Hulk\end{array}$
Q-Floor numbered six does not belong to that group becuase all others having one floor gap between them.
