They live on floor numbers 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 17 and 24 but not necessarily in the same order. Rest all the floors are empty. They all have different ages viz. 10, 13, 15, 18, 19, 17 and 24 but not necessarily in the same order. They all are related to G in some way.
    The one who is 17 years old does not live on an odd numbered floor. D is brother – in – law of G and has no siblings. Only two persons lives below E’s floor. No one is older than C who has six empty floors above his floor. Neither E nor C is sister of G. G’s mother is married to neither E nor F. Difference between the ages of B and E is less than 4 years.

A is grandson of G’s father. Difference between the age and floor number of F is same as the difference between the age and floor number of D and the difference is not an even number. A is the son of neither G nor B. D is not married to B. E is as much older than G as B is younger than G. F is not the youngest.

  7. How is F’s son related to C?
    Nephew
    Son
    Grandson
    Brother – in – law
    Sister – in – law
    Option C

    Solution:

    1. No one is older than C who has six empty floors above his floor. Only two persons lives below E’s floor. Only two persons live above D.

    2. B has more than 10 empty floors below his floor.
    3. Difference between the ages of B and E is less than 4 years. E is as much older than G as B is younger than G.
    Hence, E is one year older than G and G is one year older than B.
    Hence, E is 19 years old, G is 18 years old and B is 17 years old.

    4. Difference between the age and floor number of F is same as the difference between the age and floor number of D and the difference is not an even number. F is not the youngest.
    Hence, floor of D is 16 and age of D is 15 years. Floor of F is 14 and age of F is 13 years.
    5. G lives on one of the floors above A.
    G is 18 years old.

    6. D is brother – in – law of G and has no siblings. B is either daughter or daughter – in – law of G’s mother. A is grandson of G’s father. A is the son of neither G nor B.
    Hence, B is wife of G and A is son of D.

    7. Neither E nor C is sister of G. G’s mother is married to neither E nor F. D is not married to B.
    Hence, F is sister of G, E is mother of G and C is father of G.

    Hence, F’ son is grandson of C.
