But, in Case II, there is no single position left which Diksha can occupy. So, it is eliminated.
In Case I, only one position is left which Diksha can occupy, i.e, Diksha will perform on Saturday.
Now, only Esha is left and Monday is still vacant. So, Esha will perform on Monday.
So, the final arrangement is:
