The logic followed is:

middle number = sum of the bottom number - top number

In fig 1:

10 = (7 + 9) - 6

10 = 16 - 6

10 = 10

In fig 2:

10 = (5 + 8) - 3

10 = 13 - 3

10 = 10

Similarly,

? = (9 + 6) - 4

? = 15 - 4

? = 11 

Hence, the correct answer is "11".

From the diagram given below:

The shaded part represents the persons who speak only two languages.

26 + 51 + 17

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.
