Jaya, Katrina and Neha formed the team of three members

From (a) and (b), and the above point, we can say that Ileana was in the team of four members and the team of three members was already decided 

Hence Oviya had to be in the team of two members

From (d), we can conclude that Lara and Madhuri was in the team of four members along with Ileana 

So we are left with Gautami and Helen, who could have occupied the single vacancies left in the team of four and the team of two, in any order

Hence, if Jaya, Katrina and Neha form the team of three members, Oviya must be in a two member team with Helen or Gautami
