Solution :

The correct answer is Botany.

Let's analyze the given information step-by-step to determine the day, friend, and subject for each presentation from Monday through Friday.

Step 1: Analyze direct conditions about days and friends/subjects.
1. From condition (vi): Satish makes his presentation on Monday.
2. From condition (iv): Rehman makes his presentation on Wednesday. His subject is not English.
3. From condition (iii): The Physics presentation is made on Thursday.
4. From condition (v): The Botany presentation is made on Friday. Also, Rakesh does not present Botany.

Step 2: Determine the day for Rajesh and Vineet.
1. From condition (ii): Rajesh makes the Geology presentation and does not do it on Monday or Friday. Since Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Thursday (Physics) are occupied or restricted, Rajesh must present on Tuesday.
2. So far, the schedule by days is:
- Monday: Satish
- Tuesday: Rajesh (Geology)
- Wednesday: Rehman (Not English)
- Thursday: Physics
- Friday: Botany (Not Rakesh)

Step 3: Determine the remaining friends' presentation days.
1. The remaining available days for Vineet and Rakesh are Thursday and Friday.
2. Condition (v) states Botany (Friday) is not presented by Rakesh, which means Rakesh must present on Thursday (Physics).
3. Therefore, Vineet must present on Friday (Botany).

Step 4: Conclusion
Vineet gives his presentation on Friday, which is for the subject Botany.
