D. Rasgulla

Answer

A

Explanation

Step 1:- There are four floors between T.s floor and P.s floor. T lives on an odd numbered floor. P likes Nankhatai sweets. There are two floors between the floors on which Q and T live. From this statement there should be 3 possible cases -

Step-2:- The one who likes Kheer lives on immediate above the floor on which P lives. The one who likes Rasgulla lives on floor numbered one.From this statement Case-3 is eliminated but there are still two cases:

Step-3:- R lives on the floor which is immediate above the floor on which w lives. There is one floor between W.s floor and V.s floor. It is given that V likes Halwa and does not live below to Q so from this case-2 is eliminated as V can be placed in three positions in case-2 but all these will be eliminated There are also some possibilities of V-in-case-1-but all will be eliminated. V.s position is fixed on 5th floor.

Step-4:-S does not live immediate above or below to T.s floor so S lives on 3rd floor and U lives on 2nd floor. The one who likes Jalebi lives on the floor which is immediate above the floor on which the person who likes Kheer lives so R likes Jalebi. Only one person lives between the floors on which the persons who likes Nankhatai and the one who likes Rasmalai live so Q likes Rasmalai. U likes Aamras hence Slikes Kulfi.
