Can you answer this? Yes

There are 5 people in a room. It means before you come to the room there are already 5 people.

You go in that room. It means the people in a room now is you + 5 people  = 6 people.

You kill 4 of those 5 people. It means you remove 4 people in the room. So 6 people -  4 people = 2 people,  which consist of you + 1 other people.

The steps also could be:

How many people actually remain in that room = all people in a room include you - 4 people you killed

How many people actually remain in that room = 6 people  - 4 people

How many people actually remain in that room = 2 people

Hope it helps!

There are 5 people in a room

Further Explanation:

The question didn’t ask about living or dead people remain in the room so they are alive or dead that doesn’t make any change in their number. They still remain the same. But if in case if the question asks about the number of alive or dead then in that context answer will vary to two different circumstances. In the case of alive people, the answer will be 1 and in the case of dead people, it will come to be 4. So here the question doesn’t make any further changes in the number of people. The question is of Logical Reasoning. It involves thinking and logic as to how a person thinks critically and analyze the questions. The question is the test of your mental skills.
