9 families: Mathews, Rathores, Khandelwals, Jamwals, Kaushiks, Bhatnagars, Malhotras, Srivastavas and Dalmias.

Number of members in their family: 3, 4, 2, 6, 12, 10, 9, 7 and 5.

1) Bhatnagars live on 2nd floor and have 3 people.

2) The number of people in Malhotras family is one third of the floor on which they live (one third of 3 is 1 but that is not there, 1/3rd of 9 is 3 and Bhatnagars have 3 people, hence it is floor 6 and 2 members).

3) Kaushiks live on the topmost floor and have maximum number of people in their family (i.e. 9th floor and 12 members).

4) Rathores stay on fourth floor just above Srivastavas who have one more family member than their floor number (3 + 1 = 4).

7) Dalmias have the same number of people as the floor on which they live (the leftout floor number and family members which match is 5).

8) Mathews have the second highest number of family members (i.e. 10).
