(1-5): O orders Fruits and wears Lee shirts. The person opposite O orders Shake. Now, the persons wearing Levis and Woodland do not order Juice, Ice cream, Pastries or Fruits. So, they order Shake or Patties. But one who orders Patties is on the immediate right of the person wearing Levis shirt. So, the person wearing Levis shirt orders Shake while the person who orders Patties wears Woodland shirt and is sitting on the right of the person in Levis shirt.

Now, the person who orders Patties is on the immediate left of the person who orders Ice cream. Clearly, using (vi), the person on the left of the person in Levis shirt orders Juice. But he is sitting opposite the person wearing UCB shirt. So the person who orders Ice cream wears UCB shirt. Now, the person who orders Juice must be wearing either Raymond or Mufti. But the person in Raymond shirt does not order Juice. So, he wears Mufti. The person who orders Pastries wears Raymond shirt. R orders Patties and wears Woodland shirt. M orders Ice cream and wears UCB shirt.

(1-5): O orders Fruits and wears Lee shirts. The person opposite O orders Shake. Now, the persons wearing Levis and Woodland do not order Juice, Ice cream, Pastries or Fruits. So, they order Shake or Patties. But one who orders Patties is on the immediate right of the person wearing Levis shirt. So, the person wearing Levis shirt orders Shake while the person who orders Patties wears Woodland shirt and is sitting on the right of the person in Levis shirt.

Now, the person who orders Patties is on the immediate left of the person who orders Ice cream. Clearly, using (vi), the person on the left of the person in Levis shirt orders Juice. But he is sitting opposite the person wearing UCB shirt. So the person who orders Ice cream wears UCB shirt. Now, the person who orders Juice must be wearing either Raymond or Mufti. But the person in Raymond shirt does not order Juice. So, he wears Mufti. The person who orders Pastries wears Raymond shirt. R orders Patties and wears Woodland shirt. M orders Ice cream and wears UCB shirt.
