IBPS PO Prelims 23 Aug 2025 Shift 3 Solved Paper

Concept:This is a floor-flat arrangement puzzle. Use the fixed conditions to place each person in a definite floor and flat.Explanation:Q lives in Flat A, and Q is not on Floor 1.May is in the same flat column as Q, so May is also in Flat A.June is on the top floor, Floor 3, but not in Flat A, so June is in Flat B on Floor 3.Since U does not live on Floor 2 or Floor 3, U is on Floor 1.T is adjacent to U, so T is also on Floor 1, and T is associated with February.Thus Floor 1 is occupied by T and U, so P cannot be on Floor 1.The person associated with March lives immediately above P in the same flat, and P does not live in Flat B.Therefore P must be in Flat A on Floor 2, and the March person must be in Flat A on Floor 3.Q is already in Flat A and not on Floor 1, so Q is the March person on Floor 3.Since May is in Flat A and T has February, P on Floor 2 Flat A has May.April is on Floor 2, so the person in Flat B on Floor 2 has April.R lives immediately below S in the same flat column, so R is in Flat B on Floor 2 and S is in Flat B on Floor 3.Hence the person on Floor 3 and Flat B is S.Answer:S.
