Eight people – Clerk, Major, Manager, Judge, Policeman, Income tax officer, CEO, Secretary General live in eight different floors of building (but not necessarily in the same order). The lowermost floor of the building is numbered one, the one above that is numbered two, and so on till the topmost floor which is numbered eight. They have different ranks according to their work from 1 to 8 (not necessarily in the same order).

There are two people living between the persons who have rank 4 and rank 6. Manager lives immediate above to that of a Clerk and his rank is 5. Major lives on one of the floors below Clerk. The rank of Major is the square number. The person who has second rank lives on second floor. There is only one person living between the Clerk and the CEO. Policeman has got the 7th rank and he lives on the 7th floor. Judge and CEO have 2nd and 3rd rank respectively.
