The lowermost floor is numbered as one; the floor above it is numbered as two and so on. Z lives on the sixth floor. Three persons are living between Z and U. P lives immediately below U. Five persons are living between P and Q. V lives on an even floor and lives immediately above R. W lives one of the floors below R but not immediately below R.

Explanation:

Let’s break down the puzzle stepwise:

- There are 10 floors (1 lowest, 10 highest).

- Z is on 6.

- Three between Z (6) and U, so U is on 2 or 10.

- P is immediately below U: If U is 2, P is 1; if U is 10, P is 9.

- Five between P and Q: Means Q is 7 above/below P. So P and Q must be on 1 & 8 or 2 & 9, etc.

- V is on an even floor and above R.

- W lives below R, but not immediately below, and on an even floor above Q.

- Y is above T but below S. S is not on an even floor.

Let’s check who can be on the first floor:

- From above, P could be on 1 with U on 2.

- Other statements about T: "Y above T below S, S not on even." No concrete location yet.

But (Key) “Five between P and Q”—if P is floor 1, Q must be 7 or 8. If Q is 8, W (even floor above Q, but below R) would fit W=10, R=whatever above Q.

After filling in the positions through elimination, we find:

- T cannot fit all the other clues to be on 1.

- Only P fits all conditions to be on the lowest floor.

So, the correct answer is:

? Option:1, U

? Option:2, T

Option:3, V

? Option:4, R

? Option:5, Q

Correct Answer: P lives on the lowermost floor (not among options), but among listed ones, T does not live on the 1st floor.
