Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.

7 makeup artists- P, Q, R, S, T, U and V, live in a building on different floors, not necessarily in the same order. The building has 7 floors and only one person stays on one floor.

The ground floor is numbered 1, the floor above it, number 2 and so on and the top most floor is numbered 7. 

Each one of them likes a different makeup brand viz Maybelline, Loreal, Garnier, MAC, Neutrogena, Blossom & Kochaar and Lakme but not necessarily in the same order. Only three people live above the floor on which P lives. Only one person lives between P and the one who loves Maybelline. U lives immediately below the one who uses Blossom & Kochhar. The one who likes Blossom & Kochhar lives on an even-numbered floor. Only three people live between the ones, who use, Maybelline and MAC. T lives immediately above R. T is not a user of MAC. Only two people live between Q and the one who uses Lakme. The one using Lakme lives below the floor on which Q lives.

Persons: P, Q, R, S, T, U and V.

Floor: 1 to 7.

Makeup Brands: Maybelline, Loreal, Garnier, MAC, Neutrogena, Blossom & Kochhar and Lakme.

1) Only 3 people live above the floor on which P lives.

2) Only 1 person lives between P and the one who likes Maybelline.

(Hence, the one who likes Maybelline would either stay on 2nd or 6th floor)

3) S does not live immediately above or immediately below P.

(Hence, S doesn’t live either on floor 5 or 3)

4) The one who likes Blossom & Kochhar lives on an even-numbered floor.

(2, 4 and 6 are even numbered floors and only 4th floor inhabitant uses Blossom & Kochhar)

5) U lives immediately below the one who uses Blossom & Kochhar.

6) Only 3 people live between the ones, who use, Maybelline and MAC.

10) The one who likes Garnier does not live immediately above or immediately below Q.

11) V does not like Loreal.

12) T is not a user of MAC.

(That means Q is a user of MAC and T likes Maybelline)
