Which of the following combination is definitely correct?
The correct option is C C and Marathi
Consider the important information (Primary information) that give clear clues.
(i) A likes Maths and studies in 5th standard with only one friend.

(iii) According to information, A and D do not like history as they study in 5th and 6th standards respectively.
(iv) E does not like languages and studies with only one friend.

Now we consider the facts (second information) that are not given but definitely follow :

From here we can deduce that I, B and G study in 7th standard. Information says that A studies with one friend in 5th standard and D studies with one friend in 6th standard. Also E and I cannot study in the same standard as I's friends like languages.
(ii) Friends of I, that is, B and G like languages (Marathi. English and Hindi). Definitely, I studies History because no student of 5th and 6th standards studies history.
Now we can construct a Table as follows :
ABCDEGISubjectHistoryXXXXXX✓CivicsXXX✓XXXEnglishXXXXXMarathiXX✓XXXXHindiXXXXXMaths✓XXXXXXEconomicsXXXX✓XXStandard5th✓X✓XXXX6thXXX✓✓XX7thX✓XXX✓✓
As we see there are four blank spaces that indicates B or G studies English or Hindi. It cannot be said definitely who (B or G) studies which languages (English or Hindi).
Now, we can answer the questions of the above example:-
