Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : G

Seven Chocolates: A, B, C, D, E, F and G.

Cost of Chocolates: Between Rs. 40 and Rs. 50 

(1) The cost of the chocolate A is a prime number, implies A can be 41, 43, or 47.

(2) The cost of chocolate F is two more than that of chocolate A, (means F = A + 2), implies F can be 43, 45, or 49.

(3) The cost of chocolate F is more than that of chocolate E, (means F > E), implies E can be 48 or 46.

(4) The cost of chocolate C is five less than that of chocolate E, (means C = E - 5), implies C can be 43 or 41.

Chocolate Cost
A 47
B  
C 43 / 41
D  
E 48 / 46
F 49
G  

(5) The cost of chocolate D is an odd number, implies D can be 41, 43, or 45.

(6) The cost of chocolate G is three more than the cost of chocolate D, (means G = D + 3),  implies G can be 44, 46, or 48. 

(7) None of the chocolates costs Rs. 44. Therefore, G can be 46 or 48 and therefore D can be 43 or 45.

Chocolate Cost
A 47
B  
C 41
D 45
E  46 
F 49
G 48

(8) The cost of chocolate B is an even number, implies B can only be 42. Thus the final arrangement is as follows:

Chocolate Cost
A 47
B 42
C 41
D 45
E  46 
F 49
G 48

We can see that among the options, G(48) is costlier than E (46).

Hence,  is the correct answer.
