Solutions

(1 to 5):- It is given that P lives on an odd numbered floor above the floor numbered four so there can be two possibilities-

Case 1-When P lives on 7^th floor.

The one, who likes Pink colour lives immediately below the vacant floor. M lives immediately below the vacant floor so M likes Pink colour. The one, who likes Pink colour, lives on one of the floors below the floor number 4 so there can be another two possibilities-

Case 1(i)- When M lives on the ground floor but it is given that M lives immediately above the one who likes Brown colour so this case will be eliminated.

Case 1(ii)- When M lives on the 3^rd floor, Fourth floor will be a vacant floor. There are three people live between R and the vacant floor so R lives on 8^th floor. The number of floors above P is same as the number of floors between P and N so N lives on 5^th floor. There are only three floors between N and the one who likes Red colour. Only two floors are there between the one who likes Green colour and Red colour but it cannot be possible as 4^th floor is vacant.
