Directions (1-5) :

We have,

R has 12 articles and lives two floors below the one who lives three floors below U.

From the above note, The person who lives on the first floor does not have any articles.

From the above condition, there are two possibilities.

Again we have,

The number of floors above U is the same as below V.
X has 48 articles and lives adjacent to U.

From the above condition, Case1 gets eliminated.

Again we have,

The one who has 24 articles lives immediately above W but not on the 7th floor.
Only three floors are there between the one who has 24 articles and S.

From the above condition, case2 and case-2a get eliminated.

Again we have,

T lives three floors above the one who has 8 articles.
The one who has 8 articles lives two floors below W.

Again we have,

The one who has the article which is divisible by seven is living below P and U but above W.
The highest number of articles is not more than fifty.
The difference between the articles of X and Q is two less than W.

48-35=13+2=15->W

U has the article which is more than the sum of R and Q.

35+12=47 49 is the only number which is more than 47 and divisible by 7 and placed at 8^th position.

The one who lives immediately above U has the article which is more than 16but less than Q.

From the above condition, case2(1) gets eliminated, Case2a(1) shows the final arrangement.

Directions (6-10) :

We have:

F lives on an even number floor and lives three floors below I, who likes Dhamaal.
Both F and the one who likes Dhamaal lives in a different flat type.
The one who likes 3-Idiots lives immediately west of I, who lives on the adjacent floor of B.

That means, in case (1) I lives in flat II of floor 5, and B lives in flat I of floor 4, in case (2) I lives in flat II of floor 5, and B lives in flat II of floor 4.

One floor is between H and the one who likes Chichore, both are not living in the same flat type.
G lives immediately north-east of the one who likes Chichore, but not living on the same floor along with F.

That means, in case (1a) F likes Chichore and H lives immediately east of B, in case (1b) the one who likes Chichore lives in the flat I of floor 3, case (2) is not valid.

Based on the above given information we have:

Case (2) is not valid one floor is between H and the one who likes Chichore, both are not living in the same flat type.

Again, we have:

Four persons are living between E and A, who like Dhol.
The one who likes Dhol neither lives on the adjacent flat of the one who likes Chichore nor B.

That means, in case (1b) A lives immediate east of F, case (1a) is not valid.

J and the one who likes Bheja-Fry live on the same floor.
One floor is between the one who likes Bheja-Fry and C, both are not living on the same floor.
C neither likes Chichore nor Lootcase but lives just below the one who likes Partner.

That means J likes Chichore and C lives immediately west of H.

Based on the above given information we have:

Case (1a) is not valid as Four persons are living between E and A, who like Dhol.

Again, we have:

The person living immediately south-east of the one who likes Golmaal lives two floors above Judwaa.
The one who likes Judwaa and B lives on the different flat types.

That means, H likes Judwaa and B likes Golmaal.

Since C doesn’t like Lootcase, thus C likes Masti.

Based on the above given information we have the final arrangement as follows:
