The question lists the daily subjects George attends throughout the week. Let`s break down the information given match it with the days.

Statement I - George attends Music classes on Monday.

Statement II - He attends Mathematics classes on Wednesday.

Statement V - On Tuesday, he attends his Sports classes.

Statement IV - He attends History classes on the day following the day of his Mathematics classes (i.e., Thursday).

Statement III - His Literature classes are not on Friday. Given the fact he is free on Sunday and now, as per the mentioned schedule, every day of the week has been assigned a subject except for Friday and Saturday. But according to statement III, he doesn`t have Literature classes on Friday it implies that his Literature class must be on Saturday.

Thus, by elimination, George is also free on Friday. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4 (Friday).
