Person who like Yellow does not live on lowermost floor. K lives on an even numbered floor and immediately above L. And it is also given that L does not like Yellow. Only 1 floor is between L and Black. One who likes Brown lives on an even numbered floor immediately above the one who likes Green and Q lives immediately below the one who likes Green. It is also given that L does not like Green. (so, case 2(a) and case 4 gets eliminated here). Only 2 floors are between Blue and White. (so, case 2(b) and case 3 gets eliminated here). One who likes blue lives on an even numbered floor. M does not live on an odd numbered floor. After filling the remaining data, we get:
