Right according to MGMAT book on SC:
a.) We had an arrangement IN WHICH he cooked AND I cleaned.
But according to me, right statement should be:
b.) We had an arrangement IN WHICH he cooked AND IN WHICH I cleaned.
Please explain why a.) is right and don't need to be converted to b.) as per parallelism
Thanks in advance.

In statement a) [We had an arrangement IN WHICH] he cooked AND I cleaned. the first part of sentence is common for both X and Y.
X - he cooked
Y - I cleaned
singular pronoun follows parallel marker and in the statement, so we need another singular pronoun to make this statement parallel.
In statement b) [We had an arrangement] IN WHICH he cooked AND IN WHICH I cleaned. the first part of sentence is common for both X and Y.
X - IN WHICH he cooked
Y - IN WHICH I cleaned
preposition phrase follows parallel marker in the statement and , so we need another preposition phrase to make this statement parallel.
we'll have to look at parallel marker, and,or, to determine what follows the marker is it noun, ing-noun, action verb, working verb, infinitives, adjectives or clauses and check whether there is another one of that in the given sentence so that parallelism is maintained. The list of items which are parallel must make sense with common phrase.

I think both versions are OK with the first one more succinct.
(1) We had an arrangement IN WHICH he cooked AND I cleaned.
In this sentence, we have one main / independent clause "We had an arrangement" and one subordinate / dependent clause "In which he cooked and I cleaned".
(2) We had an arrangement IN WHICH he cooked AND IN WHICH I cleaned.
In this sentence, we have one main / independent clause "We had an arrangement" and two subordinate / dependent clauses: "IN WHICH he cooked" and "IN WHICH I cleaned".
