If there were two ladies in Tapioca, the distribution had to be as tabulated below :

  Name Activity known Group
1 Mr Abir Cooking Tapioca
2 Ms Baisali Setting tent Tapioca
3 Mr Chintu Cooking + Setting tent Alcazar
4 Mr Deepu Setting tent  
5 Mr Emon Cooking Tapioca
6 Ms Fatima Cooking Alcazar
7 Mr Gaurav Setting tent  
8 Ms Haimanti Cooking + Setting tent Rastapopoulos
9 Ms Indrani Setting tent Tapioca
10 Mr Jyoti Cooking Rastapopoulos

Rastapopoulos had Ms Haimanti + Mr Jyoti. Thus one member who could set up a tent was required.

Thus in Rastapopoulos, Mr Deepu + Ms Haimanti + Mr Jyoti was possible, and so was Mr Gaurav + Ms Haimanti + Mr Jyoti.

Hence, If there were two ladies in Tapioca, then Mr Gaurav, Ms Haimanti, Mr Jyoti could be in Rastapopoulos
