    Read the given information carefully and answer the related questions:
    Seven persons – P, Q, R, S, T, U and V – live on seven different floors (but not necessarily in the same order) of a seven-floor building where the floors are numbered as 1 to 7 (from bottom to top respectively). Each of them has a different item – Glue, Paper, Iron, Scissors, Pens, Pencil, and Colour.
    T lives on floor number 5. R lives on an even-number floor below floor 5. Two persons live between R and the one who has Glue. The one who has glue lives immediately above the one who has Scissors.

P lives on a prime number floor below T. Two persons live between P and the person who has Iron. The one who has Iron lives below V. As many persons live above V as after the one who has Colours.
