From Statement I: From this statement, we get the following inference:

As per the figure, Manas who is facing southwest, turns 135° anticlockwise. Thus, he will be facing East.

It is given that he would face the same direction as Tanya. Hence, Tanya will also be facing East.

Clearly, Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

From Statement II: From this statement, we get the following inference:

As per the figure, Dinesh who is facing northeast, turns 90° clockwise. Thus, he will be facing southeast. Also, southeast is 180° to the direction of Tanya. Hence, Tanya will be facing northwest.

Clearly, Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Therefore, the question can be answered using both statement I alone or statement II alone.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

From the common explanation, we get Sona sits opposite Bobby.

Hence, Option E is correct.

Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:

References:

Eight students Kirti, Ayushi, Manu, Sona, Aarti, Bobby, Ankita and Divya are sitting around the square table.

Four students sit on each side while rest on each corner.

Students at the side face away from the centre and students at the corner faces towards the centre.

Inferences:

So, we need to arrange as follows to accommodate the information as stated in the question,

References:

Divya sits third to the left of Ayushi.

Kirti sits opposite to Manu and both faces away from the centre.

Inferences:

From the above references, we get the following two different cases:

Case 1:

Case 2:

References:

Neither Kirti nor Manu are beside Ayushi.

Sona sits immediate left of Ankita, who sits on the side of the table.

Bobby is not an immediate right of Ayushi.

Bobby is not adjacent to Manu.

Inferences:

So, from this case 2 will be eliminated as neither Kirti nor Manu are beside Ayushi.

Now, from case 1 we get the following final arrangements:

The pattern followed is:

Hence, the correct answer is "HS".

Desolate: Empty And with out person, making you feel sad/frightened
absolute: Total and complete

Increasing international trade is crucial to the continuance of globalization

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:

Contest (verb): engage in dispute about.

Assuage (verb): make (an unpleasant feeling) less intense.

Lull (verb): calm or send to sleep, typically with soothing sounds or movements.

Mitigate (verb): make (something bad) less severe, serious, or painful.

Appease (verb): assuage or satisfy.

The sentence implies that research and resilience have now empowered us to fight against the spread of virus, thus ‘contest’ and ‘lull’ are contextually weak options. ‘Assuaging’ and 'appeasing' are grammatically inapt as we need a verb in its simple form after 'to'. Thus, only ‘mitigate’ fits here grammatically and contextually.

Hence, option D is correct.

The pattern followed here is:

The positional value of the letter is given as their code.

Given code:

Similarly,

Thus ASAP → 119116

Hence, the correct answer is "119116".

Esteemed means regarded with respect, honored, prestigious

The esteemed panel discussed crucial issues on a televised debate

The esteemed judge ruled in the favor of convict due to lack of evidence

The words ‘extempore’ and ‘imposter’ are contextually incorrect and thereby can be eliminated.

Indicate: to show.
Extempore: done or said without preparation.
Epitomize: to be the perfect example of.
Imposter: a person who pretends to be someone else especially for achieving something by fraud.

The sequence is a combination of two series:

I. 19, 38, 114, (____)
II. 2, 3, 4

Considering Series I:
1st term = 19
2nd term = 19*2 = 38
3rd term = 38*3 = 114
Thus, the missing number is 4th term = 114 * 4 = 456
