From (a), (c) and the data given above, we can say that :

Team of 2 members Team of 3 members Team of 4 members
Oviya Jaya Ileana
    Katrina
X    
X X  

Now as per (d), we have two cases. First, where both Lara and Madhuri are in the team of four, or the second, both are in the team of three

Case 1 : Lara and Madhuri are in the team of four

Team of 2 members Team of 3 members Team of 4 members
Oviya Jaya Ileana
    Katrina
X   Lara
X X Madhuri

As per (c), Neha can be in team of two with Helen and Gautami in team of three or Helen can be in team of two with Neha and Gautami in team of three

So, 2 ways.

Case 2 : Lara and Madhuri are in the team of three

Team of 2 members Team of 3 members Team of 4 members
Oviya Jaya Ileana
  Lara Katrina
X Madhuri  
X X  

As per (c), Neha can be in team of two with Helen and Gautami in team of four or Helen can be in team of two with Neha and Gautami in team of four

So, 2 ways.

Hence, 2+2 = 4 sets of different teams were possible
