One Hindi writer and the only Tamil writer belonged to the 19th century. The former contributed to poetry and novel while the latter to novel and drama. The Bengali writer belonged to the 17th century and contributed to poetry only. A belonged to the 20th century. B wrote drama only, C contributed to Marathi literature, D was a Hindi poet and novelist and belonged to the 19th century. E also belonged to the 19th century, and F contributed to poetry only. Among these, who was the Tamil writer ?
Answer: C

B, who wrote drama only cannot be Tamil and does not belong to 19th century. So, B belongs to 17th century and is a Hindi dramatist.

One compulsory subject of F is Mathematic. F has Physics as one of the subjects. So, Physics is optional of F. F has Mathematics as optional and Physics as one subject.
So, Physics is the compulsory subject of E. A and D have the same subjects -- History and English. D has History as optional subject and so English is the compulsory subject of D. Subjects of A and D are reverse in regard of optional and compulsory.
So, A has History as compulsory subject and English as optional.
Chemistry is the optional subject of only one teacher. So, it is the optional of B, which only remains.
