Explanation Given: The following conditions: (a) Edwina’s company is 1 floor above Nelson and Leopold and 1 floor below the accounting firm, whereas company on floor 44 is Brierwood Ltd. (b) The company that is 1 floor above Ogden’s is Zed’s company. The company on 45th floor is Keith’s business. Trish works in public relationship firm, which is 2 floors above Glyptic. (c) The literary agency and web design firm are Glyptic and Thebes Group, in some order. The company Web-design firm is not on the 41st floor. Explanation: Consider condition (a). Condition (a) implies that Edwin’s company is 1 floor above Nelson & Leopold, but 1 floor below accounting firm, which means Edwina cannot be at 45th or 41st floor; therefore, mark “ × ” at the intersection of Edwina and floor numbers 45 and 41. Also, there is no relationship between Edwina and accounting and Nelson & Leopold; therefore, mark “ × ” at the intersection of Edwina and accounting and Nelson & Leopold. Since Brierwood Ltd is on floor number 44, mark “ • ” at the intersection of Brierwood Ltd and floor 44 other than mark “ × ” in all the remaining cells of the respective terms. Consider condition (b). Condition (b) implies that Zed’s company is a floor above Ogden’s company, which means that Zed cannot be on floor 41 and Ogden cannot be on floor number 45; therefore, mark “ × ” at the intersection of Zed and 41 and also at the intersection of Ogden and floor number 45. It is given that Keith’s business is running on floor number 45, which means mark “ • ” at the intersection of Keith and 45 other than mark “ × ” in all the cells of respective column and row. As Trish works at the public relation firm, which is 2 floors above Glyptic, mark “ • ” at the intersection of Trish and public relation firm and also as it is 2 floors above Glyptic, Trish cannot be at floor numbers 41 and 42; therefore, mark “ × ”at the intersection Trish with floor numbers 41 and 42
