Direction: Read the instructions carefully and answer the questions below:
In a building there lives eight employees, A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H who live on eight different floors. Each of these employees work in different corporate firms where they get two weekly days off, Sunday being the common off day for all the employees but the second day is not the same for everyone. The person who lives on the ground floor has Friday as his rest day. Person living on the third and seventh floor has same day as rest day. Four people live between G and E, G being on the even numbered floor but none of them live on extreme floors. D live three floors above A, who lives four floors above B. H lives four floors above the person who rests on Tuesday, same as him. C lives a floor above the person who rests on Saturday. The person who has Thursday as his rest day lives four floors below the person who has Monday as his rest day.
1) The person who lives on the ground floor has Friday as his rest day.
2) Four people live between G and E, G being on the even numbered floor but none of them live on extreme floors.
(Now, this is only possible if G lives on 2nd floor which implies E lives on 7th floor.)

3) D live three floors above A, who lives four floors above B. (Implies D lives on the top floor and B on the ground floor with A being on the 5th floor.)
4) H lives four floors above the person who rests on Tuesday, same as him. (There is only one such way now for this to be possible, i.e. if we place H on 6th floor which further implies G rests on Tuesday.)
