From (iv), neither W nor R can be at the 9th floor, as W likes green and R is not at the topmost floor. Also as W likes green, only two floors .i.e 7th and 1st, are left for W. Hence, there are two possibilities for W and R : Possibility (a) – W at 7th floor and R at 3rd floor. Possibility (b) - R at 5th floor and W at 1st floor. But we can see in the above table that T cannot be at 1st or 3rd floor. Now (vi), says that there is one floor between the floor on which T and R live. Hence, R also cannot be at 3rd floor. Therefore, possibility (a) cannot be correct. Hence, we will go ahead with the possibility (b) which is R at 5th and W at 1st floor and also from (vi), it is clear that T will be on the 7th floor. Only colourBlack is left for T, hence T likes Black. From (vi), it is also clear that V and P will be on 4th and 3rd floors respectively. Now only person left for 9th floor is X. Final arrangement will be as follows:
