- B lives on one of the floors above E
- Only three persons live between B & E
- E does not live on the lowermost floor
- Only one person lives between B and the one who likes Britain
- The one who likes Brazil lives on one of the even numbered floors above the one who likes Britain.
From the above information, we get two possibilities Case (1) and Case (2).
- Only two persons live between G and the one who likes Britain
- The one who likes Russia lives immediately above G.
Here Case (2a) gets eliminated, as there are no floors above G in Case (2a).
- A lives immediately above F. A does not like Britain.
- G does not like Greece.
- The one who likes Greece lives on one of the odd numbered floors below F
- D lives on one of the floors above C.
- Only one person lives between the one who likes Italy & Germany.
- D does not like Italy. G does not like Belgium
Since, G does not like Belgium; Case (2) gets eliminated.
