Each of the 10 persons namely A, Q, R, Z, M, N, P, B, K and L are wea...
Let the people who wear a blue, red and green shirt be denoted by b, r and g respectively. Restrictions on the seating arrangement:
1. Two b’s must not be together.
2. Three r’s must be together.
3. A ‘b’ and a ‘g’ must not be together.
4. A ‘g’ cannot sit on a chair numbered 2 or 9.
Case I: 
A person wearing a green shirt is sitting on chair numbered 1. It is only possible if another person wearing a green shirt sits on chair numbered 2, but this violates restriction number 4.
Hence, this is also not possible.
Case II:
A person wearing a blue shirt sits on chair numbered 1. The six seating arrangements that are possible are as follows.
Now, we see that the cases 4, 5 and 6 are just obtained by reversing the cases 1, 2 and 3 respectively. It can be concluded that in any possible seating arrangement, the chairs numbered 1 and 10 are always occupied by people wearing blue shirts. It is given that the number of people wearing a blue shirt is 3. Looking at the table given in the question, we observe that in each of the six arrangements two out of the three different people i.e. A, B and N always sit on chairs numbered 1 and 10.Hence it can be concluded that the people who wear a blue shirt are A, B and N From the given table the person wearing a blue shirt can never sit on chairs numbered 2, 4, 7 and 9. So, (in arrangement I), A, B and N sitting on chairs numbered 1, 7 and 10 is inconsistent. Also, the people wearing red shirts sit on chairs numbered 2 and 9 and in all the possible arrangements five different people namely P, Q, M, Z and R are sitting on chairs numbered either 2 or 9. Therefore, P, Q, M, Z and R are wearing red shirts and K and
L are wearing green shirts.
(a) I arrangement is not consistent.

Let the people who wear a blue, red and green shirt be denoted by b, r and g respectively. Restrictions on the seating arrangement:
1. Two b’s must not be together.
2. Three r’s must be together.
3. A ‘b’ and a ‘g’ must not be together.
4. A ‘g’ cannot sit on a chair numbered 2 or 9.
Case I: 
A person wearing a green shirt is sitting on chair numbered 1. It is only possible if another person wearing a green shirt sits on chair numbered 2, but this violates restriction number 4.
Hence, this is also not possible.
Case II:
A person wearing a blue shirt sits on chair numbered 1. The six seating arrangements that are possible are as follows.
Now, we see that the cases 4, 5 and 6 are just obtained by reversing the cases 1, 2 and 3 respectively. It can be concluded that in any possible seating arrangement, the chairs numbered 1 and 10 are always occupied by people wearing blue shirts. It is given that the number of people wearing a blue shirt is 3. Looking at the table given in the question, we observe that in each of the six arrangements two out of the three different people i.e. A, B and N always sit on chairs numbered 1 and 10.Hence it can be concluded that the people who wear a blue shirt are A, B and N From the given table the person wearing a blue shirt can never sit on chairs numbered 2, 4, 7 and 9. So, (in arrangement I), A, B and N sitting on chairs numbered 1, 7 and 10 is inconsistent. Also, the people wearing red shirts sit on chairs numbered 2 and 9 and in all the possible arrangements five different people namely P, Q, M, Z and R are sitting on chairs numbered either 2 or 9. Therefore, P, Q, M, Z and R are wearing red shirts and K and
L are wearing green shirts.
(a) I arrangement is not consistent.
