Solution

The correct option is B
B

As per the question, jockey 5 has not been assigned any horse and hence E has to be assigned to jockey 4 . So B cannot be assigned to jockeys 2 and 6 as per condition(iii).Also, A or C should be ridden by jockey 1 which leaves us with only one choice wherein B is ridden by jockey 7.Hence option(b).
