  2. b.

    Either I only or II only

  3. c.

    Only II

  4. d.

    Only I and III

    Correct answer

Explanation

(D) From I alone, we conclude that Mathematics period began at 9.00 a.m., Biology period began at 8:00 a.m. hence chemistry period starting at either 10am or 11am. (option-A eliminated)

From II alone, Physics period began at 11 a.m. So, the Chemistry period began either at 8am or 9am or 10am. (option-C eliminated)

Therefore option C is also eliminated.

From I and III, we conclude that Mathematics period ended and Chemistry period began at 10:00 a. m.
