Explanation

George attends Music classes on Monday. So, Monday is for Music.

He attends Mathematics classes on Wednesdays. So, Wednesday is for Mathematics.

His Literature classes are not on Friday. So, Literature is not on Friday.

He attends History classes on the day following the day of his Mathematics classes. Since he attends Mathematics on Wednesday, his History classes must be on Thursday.

On Tuesday, he attends his Sports classes. So, Tuesday is for Sports.

We can now deduce his schedule: Monday: Music Tuesday: Sports Wednesday: Mathematics Thursday: History Friday: The only day left for Literature, as Literature is not on Friday (statement 3 is negated), so Friday is free. Thus, Friday is the free day.
