Every group needs a woman. S and U work only with Q, and V is in group 3, so {S, U, Q} is group 2 and Q is a woman. R avoids P and T, and P is in group 1, so R joins V in group 3 and T joins P in group 1, making P a woman too. So P, Q, R are women; V's gender is not given, so the count is either 3 or 4.

R (philosophy) is not a paying guest and U, S live in the hostel, so R lives at home with Q. The History student lives at home, so Q studies History, not U.

Each speaker says one true and one false sentence. If Aanu is the best archer, his second sentence is false, so 'this is my arch' is true; Banu's 'Aanu is the best' is true, so 'this is not my arch' is false (he too holds his own); Chanu's 'Banu is the best' is false, so 'I never touch the arch' is true. Everything is consistent, so the tips come from Aanu only.
