Answer 1

The correct option is A Research Methods and Computer Science

We have a total of six lectures that are scheduled for a week starting from Monday and ending on Sunday. Psychology is immediately after Organisational Behaviour.
There is a one day gap between Statistics and Research Methods. $\underset{–}{Statistics}$
Research Methods
Before the Economics lecture, there is no lecture as it is a holiday and Monday is not the holiday. Computer Science is not on Tuesday or Saturday. Statistics is not on Friday. From the above information, it is clear that Economics lecture will be held on Sunday.
$\begin{array}{cc}Monday& OrganisationalBehaviour\\ Tuesday& Psychology\\ Wednesday& Statistics\\ Thursday& ComputerScience\\ Friday& ResearchMethod\\ Saturday& -off-day-\\ Sunday& Economics\end{array}$

Computer Science and Research method lecture are successive in the above arrangement.
