Each of them earns different amount of salary – 20,000 30,000, 40,000, 50,000, 60,000 and 80,000 but not in same order.
The one who earns the lowest salary lives on one of the floors above the floor numbered 5. The one who earns 40,000 lives immediately below the one who earns the lowest salary. The salary of the person who lives on the ground floor is the sum of the salary of the persons who lived on the floors numbered 7 and 6. The person who lives on the ground floor does not earn 60,000. The number of floors above F is same as the number of floors between F and D. F lives an odd numbered floor above the floor numbered four. There are three people live between the two vacant floors.
