Step 1Started from 29th floor and went up 2 floor means current position is 31st floor and then down to 3 floors so position changed to   (  31  −  3  )  =  28  t  h floor and next down one more floor so new position is 27th floor, next up 5 floor so the curent position changed to   (  27  +  5  )  =  32  t  h floor and now down to 6 floor so the last position at which elevetor is stoped is   (  32  −  6  )  =  26  t  h floor.Step 2Hence elevetor will stop at 26th floor.
