Explanation

First, let's identify the 5 selected players. From the clues:

T is not selected.
Q is there to give a "send off," meaning Q is also not a selected player.
Therefore, the 5 selected players are P, R, S, U, and V.

Now, let's map the players to their cities and sports:

Player	City	Sport	Logic / Remarks
S	Kolkata	Table Tennis	Given directly in (iii).
P	Delhi	Badminton	Given Delhi. Cannot play Cricket or Carrom. Since Chess and TT are taken, he must play Badminton.
R	Chennai	Chess	Given Chess. Not Mumbai or Hyderabad. Since Kolkata and Delhi are taken, Chennai is the only option.
U	Mumbai	Carrom	Given Mumbai. Cannot play Badminton or Cricket. Since Chess and TT are taken, he must play Carrom.
V	Hyderabad	Cricket	Only player and city left.

Step-by-Step Deduction:

S is fixed: $S = \text{Kolkata} + \text{Table Tennis}$ .
R is a Chess player. He isn't going to Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, or Delhi. Thus, R goes to Chennai.
U goes to Mumbai. He doesn't play Badminton or Cricket. He also can't play Chess or Table Tennis (already assigned). Thus, U plays Carrom.
P goes to Delhi. He doesn't play Cricket or Carrom. Since Chess and Table Tennis are assigned to R and S, P must play Badminton.
By elimination, the last player V goes to Hyderabad and plays Cricket.

Final Conclusion:

The player who plays badminton is P.

Correct Option: (a) P
