(iv) B lives east of H who lives south of D. H lives at flat 1 of either floor no. 2 or 3. B lives at flat 2 of either floor no. 2 or 3. Case 4 , 5 and 6 will get discarded. 
(vi) C lives one of the floor below D’s floor. So, C lives at flat 2 of floor no. 2. (vii) A likes Audi and lives in even number flat. So, A lives at flat 2 of floor no. 4.
