Explanation:

Let’s break it down, step by step:

- Seven people, seven floors, each on a different floor (1 = bottom, 7 = top)

- Each person has a unique company and unique birth year.

- Priya is on the lowest floor (1) and works at TCS.

- Parul’s birth year is 1989, lives on an even floor, but not the 2nd.

- The person in HCL was born in 1989, so that’s Parul.

- Riya works in Wipro, didn’t get born in 1991.

- Sunny works in Infotech, lives below Sneha (the youngest—so Sneha is born in 1998).

- “Three between Sunny and the Infosys person,” so they're far apart.

- Three people between Raman and the one in Softech, and their ages differ by 8 years.

- Pooja is on an even-numbered floor but not lower than Parul.

- Microsoft isn’t 1986.

- The person in HCL (Parul, 1989) has a 17 year age difference with Sunny. So, Sunny is either 1972 or 2006 (but that doesn’t match given years), so only 1972 works.

Let’s match floor and person:

1. Priya (TCS, remaining birth year)

2. Second floor…who?

We know Pooja must be on an even floor—not below Parul. Parul isn’t on 2. So Pooja could be on 2, 4, or 6, but again, not below Parul. But Pooja is also not mentioned as connecting to HCL, Wipro, or TCS.

Raman: the only options that fit for Raman (with the boundaries of Softech, floor spacing, and ages) would place him, after working out the constraints, NOT on the second floor but somewhere else.

Now let’s check options:

1. Pooja – possible, fits some clues.

2. Riya – she works Wipro, but nothing says she’s on 2.

3. Parul – she’s not on 2, since her even floor can’t be 2.

4. Sunny – not on 2, he’s below Sneha.

5. Raman – clues don’t fit for second floor.

So, the answer is:

Option 1: Pooja

Here's what this really means: Pooja is the one who lives on the second floor, not Raman. The other clues all fit snugly around her being there based on process of elimination and the structure of the info.
