First of all, all the given condition is placed in a table, like, M who does not wear Pink T shirt, lives on 5th floor and below W who does not live on odd numbered floor. E likes Hockey, lives just below the floor on which W lives. One of the vacant floor is somewhere between the floor on which W and M lives. The one who wears Green T-shirt lives on 8th floor. According to these conditions, W lives on 8th floor since E lives just below W. So, W can’t be live on 6th floor. And vacant floor will be 6th floor.

The one who likes Tennis, lives on even number floor. There are two floors between the one who likes Tennis and G who wears White T shirt. There is one vacant floor just above the floor on which G lives. For this condition, the one who likes Tennis, can’t live at 2nd floor since, G can’t live at 5th floor.

There are only three people living between W and O who likes Badminton, then the one who likes Badminton lives on 3rd floor. The one who likes Kabaddi lives on even numbered floor but just below the one, who likes football. The one who likes Cricket lives just above the floor on which R who lives on even numbered floor, lives. The one who wears Black T-shirt lives just above the floor on which O lives.
