A is 33 years old and lives just above F’s flat. As A’s age is an odd number so A must live on an odd numbered floor and we know that A’s flat is just above the F’s flat so A cannot stay on 1^st floor now A must stay on 3^rd floor. C lives immediate left of F but doesn’t stay on flat II. So F must live on Flat II on 2^nd floor and C lives on flat I on 2^nd floor and A lives on flat II on 3^rd floor.

Floor	Flat I	Flat II	Flat III

E is 3 years younger to A and lives in flat II. So E is 30 years old so E either lives on 2^nd or 4^th floor. B lives immediate left of E so E doesn’t stay on 2^nd floor then E must live on 4^th floor on flat II. L is 56 years old. L is 20 years elder to J. So J is 36 years old. L and E don’t stay on the same floor. So L lives on 2^nd floor in flat III and J lives on 4^th floor in flat III.

 

Floor	Flat I	Flat II	Flat III

F is 40 years old. H’s flat just below B’s flat so H lives on 3^rd floor in flat I. G is 13 years old and lives in flat I so G lives on 1^st floor in flat I. K is 61 years old and lives just below L’s flat. So K lives on 1^st floor in flat III. I is 7 years elder to F so I is 47 years old and lives on 1^st floor in flat II then D lives on 3^rd floor in flat III. H is 2 years elder to G so H is 15 years old. J’s age is twice the age of B’s age so B is 18 years old.D and G are not lives in same floor.

 Here is the final table:

Floor	Flat I	Flat II	Flat III
