II condition –    By II and IV Basketball can be either above or below F. So here we get two more conditions that is why we will hold this condition and move further with other conditions.Â
III condition –  By II and IV, C does not like Basketball. B lives on an even- numbered floor and just above C.      By V and VI, The one who likes Table Tennis lives on an even- numbered floor and lives just above the person who likes Wrestling and H lives just below the one who likes Wrestling.
