Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

- U likes red and blue.
- T likes black. The person in the palace does not like black or blue, so T does not live in the palace.
- P likes blue and red, so they can’t live in a palace either.
- M likes yellow, and as the person living in the palace cannot like black or blue, M must live in the hut.
- X lives in a hotel, so M must live in the hut.
