Persons: P, Q, R, S, T, U and V.

Cars: Wagonr, Santro, Audi, Nissan, Mercedes, BMW and Honda (not necessarily in the same order).

Floors: 1 to 7

1) The one who owns Nissan lives on floor no. 4.

2) The one who owns Santro lives on floor no. 2.

3) There are only two floors below the floor on which P lives but he does not own Honda.

So, P lives on floor no. 3

But, Case III can’t be possible as Q does not own Nissan (Refer to information no. 2).

Thus, case III gets eliminated so we have left with case I and II.

6) T owns Wagonr but neither T nor U lives on the lowermost floor.

Only option left for R is floor no. 1. So, R lives on floor no. 1.
