Explanation
To solve this, we can map out the schedule based on the given statements:
Monday: George attends Music.
Tuesday: He attends Sports.
Wednesday: He attends Mathematics.
Thursday: He attends History because statement IV says it follows Mathematics.
Friday: He is free. Statement III says Literature is not on Friday, and since Saturday is the only remaining day, Literature must be on Saturday.
Sunday: He is free as given in the problem.
Since all other days are filled with specific subjects, Friday is the only remaining weekday where no classes are scheduled. Therefore, he is also free on Friday.
