1- P who lives on the 4th floor lives to the West of W, who is an Accountant.
2- V who is Advocate lives on the bottommost floor.
3- No lives to the West of the one who is Advocate.
4- T and the one who is an Engineer live on floor number 3 and T does not a Engineer.

| 4 | P | W(Accountant) | P | W(accountant) |
| 3 | T | (Engineer) | (Engineer) | T |
| 2 | ||||

5- The one who is Engineer lives below the one who is Doctor, who lives below the one who is Chef and all of them live in the same flat. So case-1 gets eliminated.
6- U lives beside the one who is a Businessman on the top floor.
