Given:
Five friends: Lakshmana, Muskaan, Harish, Kumar and Pikun.
Five hotels – Kent, Pushpak, Hyatt, Lalit and Marriott.
1. The first letter of the hotel is not the same as the first letter of the person having food.
| Friend's Name | Lakshamana | Muskaan | Harish | Kumar | Pikun |
| Hotel with the same first alphabet | Lalit | Marriott | Hayat | Kent | Pushpak |
2. Pikun is not eating food in Lalit or Hayat. (This statement implies that Pikun is eating food in either Kent or Marriott).
3. Harish is not eating food in Pushpak or Kent. (This statement implies that Harish is eating food in either Lalit or Marriott).
4. Muskaan and Pikun are not eating in Kent. (This statement implies that Pikun is eating food in Marriott).
5. Harish is eating in Lalit, because Pikun is eating in Marriott.
| Friends | Hotel |
| Lakshamana | |
| Muskaan | |
| Harish | Lalit |
| Kumar | |
| Pikun | Marriott |
6. Kumar is not eating food in Pushpak. (This statement implies that Kumar is eating food in Hayat because no other possibility in this case).
7. Muskaan and Pikun are not eating in Kent. (This statement implies that Muskaan is eating in Pushpak).
| Friends | Hotel |
| Lakshamana | |
| Muskaan | Pushpak |
| Harish | Lalit |
| Kumar | Hayat |
| Pikun | Marriott |
8. The remaining Lakshamana is eating in the remaining Hotel that is Kent.
| Friends | Hotel |
| Lakshamana | Kent |
| Muskaan | Pushpak |
| Harish | Lalit |
| Kumar | Hayat |
| Pikun | Marriott |
So, according to the above arrangement, Kumar is eating food in Hayat.
Hence, the correct answer is "Hayat".
