Answer 1

The correct option is A 6th

A, B, C, D, E and F live on different floors in the same building.
A lives on even numbered floor, it means it may be on floor number 2, 4, 6.
There are two floors between the D and F.

F lives on a floor above D's floor

D does not live on floor number 2. B does not live on an odd numbered floor. It means that B does not live on floor numbers 1, 3 and 5.
C does not live on any of the floor below F's floor. It means that C lives on the floor above F's floor.
E does not live on a floor immediately above or immediately below the floor of B.

From the above given information, we conclude that
$\begin{array}{cc}& Floors\\ B& 6\\ F& 4\\ E& 3\\ A& 2\\ D& 1\end{array}$
B lives on floor number 6, the topmost floor.
