Hi Angel, Thanks for asking, but your question contained a mistake, we corrected it, as per the given question in the exam and we also arranged them in point wise without changing any details in the question.
first they gave
O-M1
P-M2
Q-M3
R-M4
From points 5 and 7, A and G are along with Q.
(1st group)
So A,G - Q - M3
(2nd group)
From 6, E - P- M2,
And from 5, P is with D, So, E,D - P - M2
(3rd group)
From 6, F - O - M1, but remaining to fill up are B, C and H
But from 7, B cant go with R, so B has to go with O, from 1 but B and C, cant be together so, C is with M4
B ,F - O - M1
(4th group)
C - R - M4
Remaining person is H,
So, C,H - R - M4
