Five flats and five professionals.

i) The professor has to go up to meet his IAS officer friend. 

Top : IAS > Professor : Bottom

ii) The doctor is equally friendly to all, and has to go up as frequently as go down.

Top : __ > __ > Doctor > __ > __  : Bottom; Top : IAS > Professor : Bottom

iii) The engineer has to go up to meet his MLA friend above whose flat lives the professor's friend.

Top : __ > __ > Doctor > __ > __  : Bottom; Top : IAS > Professor : Bottom; Top: IAS > MLA >Engineer : Bottom; 

Case 1: Top : IAS > MLA > Doctor > Engineer/ Professor > Professor / Engineer : Bottom

Here, we know that 'IAS Officer' lives on the top floor.

Hence, 'Professor, Engineer, Doctor, MLA, IAS officer' from ground to top floor is the correct answer.
