Final answer:

Using the clues provided, it's deduced that James must be the one who plays Badminton.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the puzzle regarding which friend plays Badminton, we must use the process of elimination based on the clues provided:

  • James, an Electrical Engineering student, does not play Football, Cricket, or Hockey.
  • Charles is not an Electronics 1or Chemical Engineering student.
  • Jack, is a Civil Engineering student and plays Chess.
  • Neither Charles nor Paul plays Football.

From the information given, we know what James does not play, Jack plays Chess, and Charles doesn't play Football. Since James plays neither Football, Cricket, nor Hockey, he can only play Chess or Badminton. But since Jack plays Chess, James must play Badminton. Therefore, we can confirm that:

James plays Badminton
