Correct Option: D
There are five tracks T1 T2 T3 T4 T5
Chines ---Indian (Chinese is left of Indian)
Initial Position is V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6
Now from the 1st condition: V2 V5
From 2nd condition V6 V4 and none of them at position number three hence they cannot be at 1st three places
From 3rd condition V5 V1 V3
At 5th place even numbered book is placed.
From these information we can conclude that :-
V2 V5 V1 V3 V6 V4 hence 4 is correct.
