         Five building are adjacent to one another in a linear way from west to east. Each building is numbered as 1 to 5 from west to east. Each building contain different number of floors such as two to six floors not in numerical order. All the floors are in same height and bottom floor is 1st and above is 2nd floor and so on.
         Building with 5 floor is second from one end and west of three floor building. Difference between both end building floors is same as difference between 2nd and 4th building floors. Building with six floor is second from one of the end. The building I does not contains odd number of floors. From that we get two cases.
         In each building persons lives in alternate floor remaining should be vacant floor. No two persons lives in consecutive floors in any building. Each building is painted either with Green and Yellow colours. No same colour is painted to building immediate to each other.
F lives in the 4th building 1st floor. Yellow colour is painted next to the highest floor building. From that we place next to the 5th floor building is painted yellow and 6th floor building is green colour.
Both O and P live in the same green colour building. M and N lives in the same building but neither M nor N lives in 1st floor. Except M and N no one lives in that building. P lives above M floor in different building. F neither lives with O nor P in the building. M’s building is west of III building. Only possible is I building and II is green for O and P. M lives above J’s floor on different building so M is above of 2nd floor. No two persons lives in consecutive floors in any building.
. D, L and F are lives in the same floor. No one lives below or above of both L and C we get that L and C are lives alone in their building so possible III and V. Both J and C lives to the east of L’s building in above 2nd floor of different buildings. From this L and C is III and V building respectively. C and J are in 3rd floor because M placed in 4th floor so J is below of M.
W lives in the top most floor of same colour building as D. D’s building colour is green and W lives in IV building topmost floor. Expect all are vacant floors.
