Hint:

When solving such arrangement problems, list the facts in a table and assign known values first to reduce ambiguity.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

From the given conditions: - L and M are in Ashiana (only two people) - H is in Basera with only one more person → Basera has 2 people: H and J - Remaining: G, I, K must be in Gharonda - I can't be in Basera → confirmed Gharonda - None in Gharonda wears white → white is not worn by I - Hence, Gharonda = G, I, K
