    Solution

    The one who likes Virat kohli lives on an even numbered floor but not on topmost floor. Only two persons live between F and the one who likes Virat kohli. Only one person lives between F and the one who likes Suresh raina. The one who likes Suresh raina does not live on floor numbered one. A lives just above F. Only two persons live between E and A. Neither E nor C lives on the first floor. B lives on an even numbered floor just above C. If the one who likes Virat kohli lives on 6th floor, then we will check case 1 for it, Case 1: If the one who likes Virat kohli lives on 4th floor and the person F can live at two places on floor 1st or at 7th floor, then one more sub case 2.a will be formed of this case 2.  Case 2: When the one who likes Virat kohli lives on floor 2nd then F lives on floor 5th in case 3.  Now in this Suresh raina can be at two places one at floor 3rd or at floor 7th, so one sub case will be formed for this case 3. CASE-3A In case 1, B and C can only live at floor 2nd and 1st but this is not possible as per the data provided in the question that C cannot live at 1st floor, so this case 1 gets discarded. Let’s continue with the other cases. B and C only can live on floor 8th and 7th in case 2, The one who likes Ravindra jadeja lives on an even numbered floor and lives just above the one who likes Rishabh pant.  H lives just below the one who likes Rishabh pant. The one who likes Shubham Gill does not live on an odd numbered floor. Only two persons live between the one who likes Shubham Gill and the one who likes Rohit sharma. Now, this is not possible in this case 2 so this vase gets discarded. Let’s move on to other cases. In this case B live son floor 4th and C on floor 3rd. Ravindra jadeja and Rishabh pant will live at floor 8th and 7th respectively. H lives just below the one who likes Rishabh pant.  So H, lives at floor 6th. The one who likes Shubham Gill does not live on an odd numbered floor. Only two persons live between the one who likes Shubham Gill and the one who likes Rohit sharma. For this Shubham Gill must be living on floor 6th and the one who likes Rohit sharma on floor 3rd. D does not like Hardhik pandaya. Only one person lives between C and the one who likes Mahindra dhoni. The one who likes Mahindra dhoni lives on floor 1st and is liked by D. Now only G left for floor 2nd and he likes Hardhik pandaya. We have find our correct case so no need to see the other cases . Hence, the final arrangement of 8th floor building is as follows;   Case 2.a:
