Answer: (c)

Explanation:

Step 1:

C lives in the top most floor.

E lives immediately below C.

F lives in an odd numbered floor.

G lives two floors above F. D lives four floors below G.

D's district is 89.

Step 2:

B lives somewhere above F.

A lives immediately above F.A lives on an even numbered floor below the sixth floor.

F's district code is three times of H's district code. So H's district code is 15 and F's district code is 45.

The one who belongs to the district code 45 and the one whose code is 15 are immediate neighbours.

Step 3:

A's district code is forty-four greater than B. So (67- 23=44) B's district code is 23 and A's district code is 67. The difference of C's and E's district code is thirty. C's district code is an even number which is less than E. G's district code is thirty-five greater than B's district code.
