Explanation:

- There are 8 people in 3 states (West Bengal, Orissa, Assam). Each state has 2-3 people, families/blood relations stay together.

- Nikeeta (female, only child), resides in West Bengal, likes Hindi. Her sibling (must be a brother) likes English.

- Ram is Hiteshri’s brother (they're siblings), Ram is in Orissa. Hiteshri likes Chinese. Hiteshri’s sister doesn’t like Marathi.

- Zahida (female, Satya’s daughter) and Satya (likes French) are a family. Zahida’s father (Satya) likes Spanish.

- Rashi doesn’t like Spanish or Bengali. Ram, Hiteshri, and family don’t like Bengali.

- Vishnu is married (and thus in a family), belongs to Assam; family doesn’t like Marathi or Arabic.

- Arabic is liked by a female.

- Zahida doesn’t like Spanish or Marathi.

- Bengali is available. Nikeeta (Hindi), Hiteshri (Chinese), Satya (French), Satya (Spanish), Rashi (not Spanish/Bengali), Vishnu’s family not Marathi/Arabic, Zahida can’t have Spanish or Marathi, Arabic is a female.

Looking for who likes Bengali:

- Rashi: Excluded (can’t be Bengali).

- Zahida: Can't be (can’t be Spanish nor Marathi; but what about Bengali?).

- Satya: French.

- Nikeeta: Hindi.

- Mridul: Leftover, possibly Bengali.

So, among options, if Zahida is not eliminated from Bengali, she might be correct.

Correct answer:

Option: 5, Mridul

Explanation:

- Zahida is Satya's daughter, excluded from Spanish and Marathi, and Arabic needs to go to a female. But as per constraints, the only person left to take Bengali, after exclusions, is Mridul.

- Others are accounted for by the elimination process.

- Thus, Mridul is the one who likes Bengali!
