Question:

In a company, seven employees A, B, C, M, K, L and O work on 7 different levels (1 being the highest and 7 being the lowest level). B is above C and C is above just two employees. There are more than four employees above M. B is one level above A and one level below K. L is at level 7. K is below O. How many employees are above A?

Options:

Four

Two

Three

Five

Correct Answer:

Three

Explanation:

Step 01: L is at level 07

Step 02: There are more than 04 employees above M

After placing L, there are only 06 spots left and we have to place M below more than 04 i.e. 05 So we place M at 6th

Step 03: B is above C and C is above 02 employees

Step 04: B is one level above A and one level below K

Step 05: K is below O

C is above only 2, so it is placed at 5th, B is above C and one level above A and therefore A is placed at 4h and B is 3rd, K is one level above B and below O, so we place K at 2nd and O at 1st

Therefore, there are Three employees are above A
