From (ii), Suman cannot sit at place no. 6, 5, 4 and 2. So, the places left for her are place nos. 3 or 7. From this, we get two possibilities: case (a) & case (b). In case (a), if Suman sits at place no.3, then Jaya will sit at place no. 6. Case(a) In case (b), if Suman sits at place no.7, then Jaya will sit at place no. 2.
From (iii), it is clear for Kiran and Farah, two consecutive vacant places are required. . In case (a), two consecutive places are place no. 4 and 5, but since neither Kiran nor Farah is having Samsung laptop, so, case(a) is not possible. Hence, we will move forward with case(b). In case (b), two consecutive places for Kiran and Farah are place no. 6 and 5, but since the girl having Dell is second to the left of Kiran, Kiran cannot sit at place no. 6. Hence, it is clear that Kiran and Farah are at place nos. 5 and 6 respectively. It is also clear that the person having Lenovo is at 7 and the person having Dell is at 3.

Hence, Iti will sit at place no. 8 and the girls having Toshiba and Apple laptops will sit at place no. 6 and 2 respectively.
From (ii), Suman cannot sit at place no. 6, 5, 4 and 2. So, the places left for her are place nos. 3 or 7. From this, we get two possibilities: case (a) & case (b). In case (a), if Suman sits at place no.3, then Jaya will sit at place no. 6.
Case(a) In case (b), if Suman sits at place no.7, then Jaya will sit at place no. 2.
