Who is from Kolkata?
P is from Kolkata. The row is R, Q, P, T, S. Chennai and Kolkata are left for P and T. The Chennai person must sit beside the Pune person S, which only T does, so P gets Kolkata.

Explanation
The order from the left is R, Q, P, T, S. R is from Delhi, S from Pune and Q from Mumbai, so Chennai and Kolkata remain for P and T. The Chennai person must sit next to S (Pune), and only T does. So T is from Chennai and P is from Kolkata. T is wrong because T sits next to S.
