Here, persons are D, H, L, N, P, T and V; colours are Black, Cream, Grey, Orange, Pink, Red and White and cities are Assam, Bihar and Goa.

1. H and P posted in different cities but not in Assam.

2. H and the one who likes White colour posted in same city.

3. N lives in Bihar.

 

4. V and D posted in same city.

5. D likes Orange colour.

6. V likes neither Pink nor White colour.

 

7. P and the one who likes Black colour posted in different cities.

8. L and the one who likes Grey colour posted in same city.

9. T likes Grey colour.

10. Only one other person posted in same city with the one who likes Pink colour. (Therefore, in case 1(a) and case 1(b) there is a possibility that N likes White colour otherwise number of person becomes more than 7).

 

11. The person who likes Red colour and the one who likes Pink colour posted in different cities.

12. P likes neither Pink nor Cream colour. Therefore, case 2 is eliminated.

13. L likes either Cream or Red colour. Therefore, case 1(b) is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

 

Since, V likes Black colour. Therefore, statement A is incorrect.

P likes Red colour. Therefore, statement B is correct.

T was posted in Goa. Therefore, statement C is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is both B and C.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:
