Explanation:

Let’s break it down, step-by-step:

- There are 10 people, 2 flats (A & B), 5 floors each. Flat A is East of Flat B.

- P is on 4th floor, to the West of W (Accountant). So if P is in B-4, W is in A-4.

- Baker is East of Dentist, so Baker is in A, Dentist is in B (same or different floors).

- One floor between T and Q — could be above or below.

- V (Advocate) is on bottom floor. No one to West of Advocate. So V is in B-1.

- Engineer lives below Doctor, who lives below Chef, all in same flat.

- X is beside Teacher, but not on top floor.

- T and the Engineer are on 3rd floor, but T is not Engineer — so T and Engineer share floor 3, different flats.

- Q is not a Businessman.

- R is directly below X, same flat.

- S is on an odd-numbered floor in Flat A.

- Z is above Actor. So Z on higher floor than Actor, maybe same flat.

- U is next to Businessman, on top floor.

- Accountant (W) is clarified to live on 4th floor.

So, the Accountant is W, who is in Flat A (because to the east of P on 4th floor).

That makes the answer:

Option 4, Floor – 4

The logic holds: W is Accountant; W is in Flat A, 4th floor. Simple as that. The rest of the clues confirm placements, but the key clue is about P and W’s relative positions.
