Solution

Based on the given information, let's analyze the clues step by step:

(i) R lives on the second floor and likes Maths. (ii) There is exactly one person between the person who likes Biology and P. (iii) T lives immediately above the person who likes Chemistry. (iv) V lives adjacent to P's floor and the person who likes Maths. (v) S likes Biology and lives immediately below the person who likes History. (vi) Either P or Q likes History. (vii) U likes English and the person who likes Civics is not adjacent to S.

From clue (i), we know that R lives on the second floor and likes Maths. So, we can place R on the second floor and mark Maths as their subject.

From clue (iii), we know that T lives immediately above the person who likes Chemistry. Since R is on the second floor and likes Maths, T must be on the third floor and likes Chemistry.

From clue (v), we know that S likes Biology and lives immediately below the person who likes History. Since T is on the third floor and likes Chemistry, S must be on the fourth floor and likes Biology. The person who likes History must be on the third floor.

From clue (vi), we know that either P or Q likes History. Since the person who likes History is on the third floor, P or Q must be on the third floor. Let's assume P likes History and place them on the third floor.

From clue (ii), we know that there is exactly one person between the person who likes Biology and P. Since S likes Biology and P likes History, there must be one person between S and P. Let's place Q on the fourth floor and mark Biology as their subject.

From clue (vii), we know that U likes English and the person who likes Civics is not adjacent to S. Since S is on the fourth floor and likes Biology, U must be on the fifth floor and likes English. The person who likes Civics cannot be on the third or fifth floor.

From clue (iv), we know that V lives adjacent to P's floor and the person who likes Maths. Since P is on the third floor and likes History, V must be on either the second or fourth floor. However, V cannot be on the second floor because R is already there. Therefore, V must be on the fourth floor and likes Maths.

Now, let's summarize the information we have so far:

1st floor: 2nd floor: R (Maths) 3rd floor: P (History) 4th floor: Q (Biology), V (Maths) 5th floor: U (English) 6th floor: 7th floor:

We have two empty floors left, the 1st and 6th floor. Let's assign subjects to the remaining people:

Since the person who likes Civics cannot be adjacent to S (who is on the 4th floor), the person who likes Civics must be on either the 1st or 6th floor. Let's assume the person who likes Civics is on the 1st floor.

Since the person who likes Hindi is not mentioned in any of the clues, we can assign Hindi to the remaining person, who is on the 6th floor.

Now, let's summarize the final arrangement:

1st floor: Civics 2nd floor: R (Maths) 3rd floor: P (History) 4th floor: Q (Biology), V (Maths) 5th floor: U (English) 6th floor: Hindi 7th floor:

Therefore, the person who likes Hindi is on the 6th floor.
