Directions (1-5):
A does not live on the odd numbered floor and doesn’t live just below of the top floor. We get three possibilities here i.e. Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3. There are two floors gap between A and U, who lives above of the floor in which A lives. There are three persons live between U and V, who lives just above the floor of S.
From the given statements, D lives below of the floor of S but not just below. Here Case 2 is ruled out. Both B and D do not live on ground floor. Q lives just above of the floor of D. B lives just below of the floor of X. Here, one more case is added i.e. Case 1a.
