Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1st floor

A four-storey building houses a clock, mobile, medical and supermarket shops on separate floors. The ground floor is named the first floor, the floor above it is the second floor, and so on.

(i) There are two shops between the medical and supermarket shops, but the medical shop is not on the lowest floor.

Floor	Shop
4	Medical
3
2
1	Supermarket

(ii) The mobile shop is just above the clock shop.

Floor	Shop
4	Medical
3	Mobile
2	Clock
1	Supermarket

So, 1st floor is under the clock shop floor.

Hence, '1st floor' is the correct answer.
