So we have given this-

The only boy who is not among those
boys is sitting at one of the extreme
ends. Not more than two girls are sitting

Take Case 1:
H is sitting fourth to the left of L. L can
be sits at 6th
or 7th
.
If L sits at 6th
then H sits at 2nd
but H is
a boy and at 2nd
position a girl is sitting
so this cannot be possible.
So L sits at 7th
and H sits at 4th
. G is
sitting between H and F. So G must be
sits at 4th
and F at 5th
. E is the only boy
left so he must be sit at 8th
. J is not the

any of the extreme ends. So J must sit
at 2nd
. Both J and K are sitting beside a
boy. So K must sits at 6th
. At 1st
position
I sit. So this is a valid case we do not
need to check another.

● The both persons whom live on top
floor and lowermost floor theirs height
difference are maximums so the one
who is tallest and the one who is
shortest live either on 1st

floor-
● Only one person lives between D and
the one who is shortest. D must live on
6th
floor.
● One person lives between D and the
one whose height is 180cm. So the one
whose height is 180cm lives on 4th
floor.

● Not more than two persons are shorter
than E So E’s height cannot be more
than 170cm so this case gets rejected.
