Direction: Read the following information carefully and answer the qu...
Explanation:

Given information:
- 8 persons: P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W
- 10 floors in the building
- 7 fruits: Apple, Banana, Papaya, Orange, Cherry, Strawberry, Guava
- Each person likes one fruit
- Constraints given regarding the positions of the persons and their fruit preferences

Key points to consider:
- Guava is below Papaya but not below Strawberry
- 3 floors between P and Q
- Mango is below P and Q
- 2 floors between U and Banana
- 3 floors between U and S
- V is below U and Cherry
- V is below one who likes Cherry
- U is below Banana and Orange
- S does not like Banana
- Cherry not on topmost floor
- 2 floors between W and R
- Apple between P and W
- W likes Mango and is on the bottom floor

Solution:
- From the given information, we deduce that Q likes Mango, and W likes Mango and is on the bottom floor.
- Since there are 3 floors between P and Q, P cannot be on the topmost floor. Therefore, P must be on the 3rd floor.
- Since there are 2 floors between W and R, W must be on the 1st floor and R on the 3rd floor.
- As Apple is between P and W, Apple must be on the 2nd floor.
- Since the person who likes Guava is below the person who likes Papaya, and Guava cannot be on the 1st or 2nd floor, Papaya must be on the 4th floor.
- Since V is below Cherry, and Cherry is not on the topmost floor, Cherry must be on the 6th floor and V on the 7th floor.
- The remaining fruits and positions can be deduced following the given constraints.

Conclusion:
- Q likes Papaya. Hence, the answer is option C) Q.
