Flats and Heights Puzzle
CMAT 2018 · Logical Reasoning · Medium · Puzzles
Kapila, Meenal, Rishi, Pradeep and Lalita have five flats in different buildings of five different colours - Blue, White, Red, Orange and Green. The Green building is the shortest of all the buildings and Pradeep's flat is in it. The building in which Lalita's flat is located, is neither Blue nor White in colour and is taller than the building in which Meenal's and Rishi's flats are located. One person's name starts with the same letter as the first letter of the building's colour in which he resides and it is the second tallest of all. Which of the following can be TRUE about the resident of the building, its colour and its height?
- A.
Lalita - Blue - Shortest
- B.
Meenal - Red - Tallest
- C.
Lalita - Orange - Tallest
- D.
Pradeep - Green - Tallest
C
Explanation
Pradeep is in the shortest building (Green, height rank 5). The second tallest building's resident and color start with the same letter: Rishi in Red (rank 2). Lalita's building is neither Blue nor White, so it is Orange. Lalita's building is taller than Rishi's (rank 2), so Lalita's building is rank 1 (tallest). Thus, Lalita - Orange - Tallest is correct.
