    Solution

    X who likes Papaya lives to the immediate west of R who likes Mango and lives in Flat-3 of Floor-1. T and P lives in the same flat which is Flat-3.Note: Here we get one more case. Case-1 Number of Flats towards west of T is equal to the number of flats towards east of V, but in different floors. Note: Here we get one more possibility from each case. Thus 4 we have total cases Case-1 U does not live on Floor-2 but lives to the East of the one who likes Apple who does not live in an even numbered flat. W does not like Apple and lives one of the extreme west flat. Note: U must live on Flat-2 of Floor-3 (only possibility in all cases). Also we get only possibility for W in each case, except case-2 Case-1 The one who likes Watermelon fruit and S lives in the same flat. Q lives northwest of S Note: Case-2 gets rejected since Q lives northwest of S is not possible. Case-1 The one who likes Orange lives to the immediate west of the one who likes Guava and T likes Grapes. Persons like Orange fruit and Banana fruit lives in the same flat and W does not like Banana fruit. The one who likes Kiwi doesn’t live in topmost floor. Note: T likes Grapes as given. Finally P likes Kiwi in case-1-A Case-1 gets rejected since W doesn’t like Banana Case-2-A gets rejected since the one who likes Kiwi doesn’t live in topmost floor Case-1A (Final arrangement)
