  4. George and Harish

Ten students are Alex(A), Bryan(B), Charlie (C), Derek(0), Elwin(E), Frank(F), George(G), Harish(H), lan(I) and Joseph(J). D, H and J are from three different colleges. Also, two of B, E and 6 are from Harvard.

Therefore, there are at least 3 students from Harvard. If one of F or A is from Harvard, then two of the colleges will have the same number of participants.

Thus, neither F nor A is from Harvard. Also, it implies that most number of participants are from Harvard and there are at least two participants from each college. Thus, the only possibility is that there are 5 students from Harvard, and 3 and 2 students horn Stamford and Oxford (in any order).

From condition (v), Derek and Alex are from Oxford and Frank is from Stanford.

Thus, partial information about students is as below:

Harvard (5)

Q1. As it can be seen from the table above, Ian and Derek are from different colleges. Hence, [3].

Q2. Joseph cannot be from a college from where the least number of participants are. Hence, [2].

Q3. From the given condition, George and Elwin are from Harvard. Thus, Elwin and Ian are from the same college. Hence, [3].

Q4. The colleges of 7 students out of 10 can be definitely determined. Therefore, the required answer is 7.
