They all are teachers of the different subjects viz., Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Civics, Economics, Botany, Zoology and Computer but not necessary in the same order.

        Only one person living is living between the one who is a Botany teacher and S, who lives on the fourth floor. Three persons are living between V and the one who is a Civics, who lives below V. The one who is a Civics teacher lives on the odd numbered floor. Only one person lives between V and the one who is a Computer teacher. The Computer teacher lives immediately below J. B lives immediately below the one who is a Economics teacher. As many persons living above the one who is a Physics teacher is same as the persons living below the one who is a Economics teacher. B is neither Botany teacher nor Chemistry teacher. Two persons are living between M and the one who is a Maths teacher. Only one person lives between W and the one who is a Chemistry teacher. T does not like Maths.

Answers: 

Direction (1-5):

Only one person living is living between the one who is a Botany teacher and S, who lives on the fourth floor.

Three persons are living between V and the one who is a Civics, who lives below V. The one who is a Civics teacher lives on the odd numbered floor.

Only one person lives between V and the one who is a Computer teacher. The Computer teacher lives immediately below J.

B lives immediately below the one who is a Economics teacher. As many persons living above the one who is a Physics teacher is same as the persons living below the one who is a Economics teacher. B is neither Botany teacher nor Chemistry teacher.

So, Case-2(a) will be dropped.

Two persons are living between M and the one who is a Maths teacher. Only one person lives between W and the one who is a Chemistry teacher.

So, Case-1(b) and Case-2(b) will be dropped.

T does not like Maths.
