That much I remember.

One thing I want to point out here that, I solved the parallel sitting arrangement correctly. I also figured out the person with different hobbies having classes on different weekdays, but my 3 out of 5 answers were ‘Other than given here’. While the remaining 2 puzzled arrangements were too mush puzzled. There wasn’t looking any sense. I hope someone has able to solve them. I request to post answers if anyone can remember.

All the Best :)
