The Sharmas eat sambar at noon, the Pattabhiramans eat fried brinjal served in blue chinaware, and the Banerjees eat makkai-ki-roti served in red chinaware.

âââââââ
The information can be summarised as follows.
The Sharma family eats at noon and the Bannerjees family eats at 2 o’ clock.
∴ The Pattabhiramanas family must be eating at 1 o’ clock.
Also, the family that eats at 1 o'clock serves fried brinjal i.e. Pattabhiramanas family and they use blue chinaware.
The family that serves sambhar does not use red chinaware, the family that eats last likes makkai-ki-roti.
∴ The Sharma family must be eating sambhar in the white chinaware and Bannerjees family must be eating Makkai-ki-roti in the red chinaware.
Hence, option (c).
