Given: Seven people A, B, C, D, E, F and G have a holiday on seven different days of the same week (Monday to Sunday) and work in seven different departments (Marketing, Production, Advertising, HR, Online, Accounts, Maintenance).

C has a holiday on Thursday and works in Maintenance department. Only two people have a holiday between C and A.

The one who works in online department has a holiday immediately after A means  A's holiday is on Monday, Online is on Tuesday.

Day Person Department
Monday A  
Tuesday   Online
Wednesday    
Thursday C Maintenance
Friday    
Saturday    
Sunday    

 

Only one person has a holiday between B and the one who works in Accounts department. B neither has a holiday on Sunday nor on Friday. Only Two people have holidays between B and D. 

E does not have a holiday immediately before or after D.

Now, we have 2 cases.

Case 1,

Day Person Department
Monday A  
Tuesday E Online
Wednesday B  
Thursday C Maintenance
Friday   Accounts
Saturday D  
Sunday    

 

Case 2,

Day Person Department
Monday A Accounts
Tuesday E Online
Wednesday B  
Thursday C Maintenance
Friday    
Saturday D  
Sunday    

 

F does not have a holiday on any of the days after G means F take holiday before G.

The one working in HR department has a holiday immediately after the one working in Marketing department.

D does not work in HR department Neither B nor F works in Production department.

Case 1,

Day Person Department
Monday A Production 
Tuesday E Online
Wednesday B Advertising
Thursday C Maintenance
Friday F Accounts
Saturday D Marketing 
Sunday G HR 

 

Case 2,

Day Person Department
Monday A Accounts
Tuesday E Online
Wednesday B  
Thursday C Maintenance
Friday F  
Saturday D Marketing 
Sunday G HR 

 

 

Here, case 2 gets eliminated as neither B nor F works in Production department.

Final answer is,

Case 1,

Day Person Department
Monday A Production 
Tuesday E Online
Wednesday B Advertising
Thursday C Maintenance
Friday F Accounts
Saturday D Marketing 
Sunday G HR 

 

Thus, 'G' has a holiday on Sunday.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.
