Let us first think what will be the Second year combination before going to third, this will make our task very easy:
First Start with Condition :
Condition 1 - If it corn then beans will also come = Corn,Beans - Same year. Remember this is not true vice versa that it is not mandatory that if it beans then it is not necessary that corn will also be there.
Condition 2 -> If in this kale is there next year there will be no Kale
Condition 3 -> Only one vegetable will be common in both year.
First year : Beans, corn, and kale
Second year : We can't use corn .
Why?
Because if we use Corn then we must have to use Beans then our Condition 3 will violate.
Also we can't use Kale . Why?
If we use kale then our Condition 2 will violate.
So we can use only Beans, peas, and squash -> This is second year.
Now lets go with third year.
Straightforward we will eliminate Option D as it is violating condition 3.
We cant use Peas and Squash as it will eliminate condition 3, So it will eliminate option E
We can't use Beans and Peas as it will eliminate condition 3,(See 2nd year vegetable) So it will eliminate option C and also B.
So Ans is A

(A) Beans, corn, and kale
(B) Beans, corn, and peas
(C) Beans, kale, and peas
(D) Beans, peas, and squash
(E) Kale, peas, and squash
The three conditions are highlighted. We have beans, corn and kale.
Corn and beans come together but not beans and corn. Finally, no two vegetables continue to be same next year.
So from beans, corn and kale, kale is not grown next year as it is grown in alternate years. Hence, from beans and corn, corn can't be planted as beans would then need to be planted, thus violating one of the conditions. Therefore, beans can be planted in 2nd year. Along with beans, peas and squash can be planted in 2nd year. This suggests D is gone.
The combinations can't be planted in the 3rd year are beans and peas, beans and squash, and peas and squash. These three possibilities leads us to A.
