The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is (C):
D‘s seminar is scheduled later than Q’s seminar, indicates that Q’s seminar cannot be in the last slot. It implies F is guided by S and G by Q. Hence, statement (ii) is true. Now that Q’s seminar is scheduled in the second slot, D’s seminar is scheduled in the lost slot. i.e D is guided by R. Hence, E and H are guided by T. Thus, statement (i ) is also true. Both (i) and (ii) are true.

If it is in the last slot, then E is guided by R and both D and E are guided by T.
Thus, at least one of D and H is guided by T.

One among E and H is guided by T and the other one b y R, in any order.
Hence the statement that E is guided by R is NOT necessarily true.
