    Solution

    Explanation : From the given statement, Y lives on even numbered floor but not on top even floor and does not shops in Trends and Peter England. We consider from 2 cases:                Two people live between Y and R who shop in Woodland. R lives above 4th floor. S shops in Shopper store and lives on 6th floor. W lives just above Y. One person lives between V and W who shops in Puma.      Case-1 From the given statements, two persons live between X and the one who shops in Puma which is not possible in this case and case 2 is eliminated. On behalf of the remaining data Z shops in Levis. The number of persons above X is same as below of the one who shops in Trends.

Three persons live between the one who shops in Peter England and Blueberry and both of them live on even floors. We get our final arrangement from Case1. The final arrangement is following:
