Three different cities: Mumbai, Kolkata, and Jaipur
1). A neither lives in Mumbai or Kolkata.
With this statement, We know A will live in Jaipur.
2). D and G are friends but live in different cities but none of them lives in Jaipur.
D and G will live in the same city but none of them lives in Jaipur means either they will live in Mumbai or Kolkata.

5). I, E and D are friends and the two of them live in the same city.
We already know that D lives in Mumbai so either E or I live in Mumbai.
6). E and H live in the same city but not Mumbai.
Here, Case I.I eliminate as E does not live in Mumbai, E and H live in the same city, and there is no place in Kolkata.
So, E and H live in Jaipur.
As C is left so she will live in Mumbai and Since E lives in Jaipur so I will live in Mumbai.
So, The final arrangement is:

Jaipur |
A, E, H |

C, D, I |
|
Kolkata |
B, G, F |
B, G and F live in Kolkata.
Mistake Points Kindly read the statement carefully, " I, E and D are friends and the two of them live in the same city." In solution, I and D both are living in the same city.
