  3. C

  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

To determine which lecture is scheduled between Statistics and English, we need to analyze the given conditions and arrange the lectures accordingly:

1. We have the lectures: Economics, History, Statistics, English, and Mathematics, scheduled from Monday to Friday.
2. Constraints given: - Economics cannot be scheduled on Tuesday. - History is scheduled only on Tuesday. - Mathematics is immediately after Economics. - English is immediately before Economics.
3. Based on the above constraints: - Since History is on Tuesday, it gets fixed: Tuesday - History. - Economics cannot be on Tuesday, so possible days for Economics are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. - If we place Economics on Monday: - Tuesday: History (contradicts, as Math would be Tuesday). - If we place Economics on Wednesday: - Tuesday - History (no conflict). - Wednesday - Economics. - Thursday - Mathematics. - English must be placed immediately before Economics, so: Monday - English. - The remaining lecture, Statistics, would then be on Friday. - Order: Monday - English, Tuesday - History, Wednesday - Economics, Thursday - Mathematics, Friday - Statistics (no conflicts).
4. With Economics on Wednesday, the schedule meets all constraints: - Monday: English - Tuesday: History - Wednesday: Economics - Thursday: Mathematics - Friday: Statistics

Therefore, the lecture scheduled between Statistics and English is on Tuesday, which is History.
