1) The person who lives on the ground floor has Friday as his rest day.

2) Four people live between G and E, G being on the even numbered floor but none of them live on extreme floors.

(Now, this is only possible if G lives on 2nd floor which implies E lives on 7th floor.)

3) D live three floors above A, who lives four floors above B. (Implies D lives on the top floor and B on the ground floor with A being on the 5th floor.)

4) H lives four floors above the person who rests on Tuesday, same as him. (There is only one such way now for this to be possible, i.e. if we place H on 6th floor which further implies G rests on Tuesday.)
