Common Solution :

From statements i, ii, and iii, we get the following table. R and T are scheduled on the same day. Only on Monday and Thursday, we have both slots empty. Hence, R and T are scheduled on Monday and Thursday only. So, S must be scheduled on Tuesday and Wednesday.

From statement iv, S is handled by Professor A on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.
