Direction: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
There are seven floors in a building which has two wings i.e. the left wing and the right wing.
On each floor 1 flat is present in each wing. 13 people A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, and M are living in those flats, each in different flat. The first floor is numbered as floor 1, the second floor is numbered as floor 2 and so on.
J lives two floors below F but two floors above D in the left wing. B lives four floors below C in the right wing. I lives three floors above H but not in the same wing as H. The second floor below the floor on which A lives in the same wing is vacant. E lives on an even numbered floor below B and he lives in the same wing as L. K lives four floors above M in the same wing as F. A lives four floors above L on an odd numbered floor and they live in different wings. C and A does not live on the same floor.People → A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, and M
Floors → 1 to 7
Wings → Left and Right
1) B lives four floors below C in the right wing.
2) E lives on an even numbered floor below B.
(Clearly, if E lives on an even numbered floor below B implies, B lives on the 3rd floor and it further implies that C lives on the 7th floor.)

3) A lives four floors above L on an odd numbered floor.
4) C and A does not live on the same floor.
(Implies, A does not live on the 7th floor which further implies A lives on the 5th floor and L lives on the 1st floor.)

5) The second floor below the floor on which A lives, in the same wing is vacant.
(As A lives on the 5th floor and the right wing of second floor below A is already taken by B, it implies that A lives in left wing.
6) A and L lives in different wings.
(Thus L lives in right wing.)
7) E lives in the same wing as L.
(Thus E also lives in right wing.)
8) J lives two floors below F but two floors above D in the left wing.
