From (ii), F lives on floor no. 2 and B lives on floor no. 4. The one who likes Classmate lives on floor no. 6. From (iii), The one who likes Pilot and Montblanc live on floor no. 5 and 1 respectively. From (iv), C lives on floor no. 7. Case 2 will get discarded as C does not like neither Pilot nor Montblanc.
