Person: Amit, Ankush, Arya, Aman, Nirav and Uttam

City: Nasik, Pune, Raipur, Mumbai Chennai and Nagpur.

Floor: 1 to 6

1) Nirav lives three floors above Amit, both does not live on either of the extreme floors.

(This is possible only if Amit lives on the 2nd floor)

2) Aman’s weight is 80 kg and he is 8 kg heavier than the person who lives three floors below him.

3) The person whose weight is 52 kg is from Raipur and lives on top floor.

(As we see, 5th, 6thand 2nd floor are already occupied, now there is only one possibility for Aman to be placed i.e. at the fourth floor.)

5) Uttamlives on even numbered floor and the person whose weight is 55 kg lives three floors below Uttam.
