Given:

ii) S is staying in hotel E and visited Red Fort.

iii) Q is staying in hotel D.

Persons	Temple visited	Hotel stayed
P	Lotus Temple
Q		D
R
S	Red Fort	E

iv) P visited Lotus Temple but he is not staying in Hotel B or C means he is staying in hotel A as hotel D and E are already occupied.

Persons	Temple visited	Hotel stayed
P	Lotus Temple	A
Q		D
R
S	Red Fort	E
T

 

v) Q is staying in hotel D, but he has not visited India Gate or Akshardham means he visited Qutub Minar as Lotus Temple and Red Fort are already visited by P and S respectively.
