Q and V live in the same type of flat such that Q lives immediately above V but below floor 3. Q lives in southeast of T. X lives to the west of Q. X and U live in the same type of flat and X lives immediately above U, this is not possible in case II(b), so case II(b) is rejected. . U doesn’t live in flat 1, so case II(a) is rejected.
