Question

On which floor is Bhanu's office?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 6
• D. 5
• A. Yella
• B. Mohit
• C. Bhanu
• D. Puneet

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To find out on which floor Bhanu's office is located, let's analyze the given information step-by-step:

1. We know there are seven floors, numbered from 1 (top) to 7 (ground).
2. Yella’s office is just below Raksha’s office.
3. There is exactly one office between Gagan’s office and Omi’s office.
4. Puneet’s office is just above Raksha’s office.
5. Neither Puneet nor Bhanu is in the topmost office.
6. Omi is in the office on the lowest floor, which is floor 7.

Let's represent these details in an arrangement:

• Since Omi is on floor 7, and there is exactly one office between Gagan’s and Omi’s offices, Gagan must be on floor 5.
• Raksha cannot be on floor 1, as Puneet's office is immediately above Raksha's. Hence, Raksha should be on floor 2 and Puneet on floor 1.
• This leaves floors 3, 4, and 6 unassigned among Yella, Bhanu, and possibly Gagan.
• Yella is just below Raksha, so Yella is on floor 3. Thus, Raksha remains confirmed on floor 2.
• Bhanu cannot be on the top floor (floor 1) and is not in floor 7 or 5. Therefore, Bhanu must be on floor 6.

With this arrangement, Bhanu's office is on floor 6.

Thus, based on our deductions and the constraints provided:

Floor	Office Bearer
1 (Top)	Puneet
2	Raksha
3	Yella
4	—
5	Gagan
6	Bhanu
7 (Ground)	Omi

Therefore, Bhanu’s office is on floor 6. This matches the correct answer option given as 6.

Answer 2

To solve the given logical ability question, we need to determine which among the options is "odd" based on the provided paragraph about office placements.

Let's consider the statements given in the paragraph:

1. The building has floors numbered 1 to 7 (top to bottom), with one office on each floor.
2. Yella’s office is just below Raksha’s office.
3. There is exactly one office between Gagan’s office and Omi’s office.
4. Puneet’s office is just above Raksha’s office.
5. Neither Puneet nor Bhanu is in the topmost office.
6. Omi is in the office on the lowest floor (floor 7).

Analyzing these statements step-by-step:

1. Omi is on floor 7.
2. There is exactly one office between Gagan and Omi, hence Gagan must be on floor 5.
3. Since Puneet's office is just above Raksha’s office, and neither Puneet nor Bhanu is on the topmost floor, Raksha and Puneet cannot be on the top floor (floor 1).
4. Yella’s office is just below Raksha’s. Assuming Raksha and Puneet are on floors 2 and 3 (in any order), Yella would be on floor 4. However, Puneet is above Raksha, so the correct order is: Puneet on floor 2 and Raksha on floor 3. Therefore, Yella is on floor 4.
5. This leaves floors 1 and 6 for Bhanu and the top floor for the remaining office bearer.

Based on the above placements, Mohit's office is left unaccounted for, and thus is in the topmost floor.

Now let's justify why "Mohit" is the odd one out:

• Mohit is in the topmost office (floor 1), which goes against the condition that neither Puneet nor Bhanu should be at the topmost floor, aligning Mohit against most others.
• The other office bearers (Yella, Puneet, and Bhanu) occupy floors for which they have specific associations mentioned in the logic of placement.

Hence, "Mohit" is the odd one out based on the paragraph's logic.
