From the final arrangement, we get, R doesn’t belong to that group as except for R, all the others are facing outside.
Hence, Option D is correct.
References:
Q sits second to the right of P.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get two different cases:
In case 1, P sits at the corner or in the middle of the side of the table.

References:
R is not an immediate neighbor of P.
R faces inside.
R sits third to the left of W.
Inferences:
From the above references, we get different cases for R, in case 1(a) in which R faces P and in case 1(b) R faces Q.

References:
T sits third to the left of U.
V sits second to the left of U.
Inferences:
So, from this case 1(b) and case 2 will be eliminated as there is no possible place for V in these cases after placing U and T. Hence, we get our final arrangement in which S sits on the immediate left of P and V sits on the immediate right of R.
Final arrangement:

The Correct Option is C: 1 and 3
Characteristics of the Neolithic Culture
The Neolithic culture, also known as the New Stone Age, was a significant period in human history characterized by several key features that distinguish it from earlier Paleolithic cultures. The chief characteristic features of the Neolithic culture are:
1. Practice of Agriculture:

• The most significant development during the Neolithic period was the shift from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to settled farming communities.
• People began to cultivate crops such as wheat, barley, rice, and maize, which led to the establishment of permanent settlements.
• Agriculture provided a stable food supply and allowed for surplus production, leading to population growth.

2. The Technology of Smelting Metal Ore:

• While the Neolithic culture is primarily associated with the use of stone tools, some advancements in metalworking began to emerge during this period.
• The technology of smelting metal ore, particularly copper, started to develop, paving the way for the later Bronze Age.
• The ability to extract and work with metals revolutionized tool production, leading to more efficient and durable tools and weapons.

3. Domestication of Animals:

• Another significant characteristic of the Neolithic culture was the domestication of animals.
• Early humans began to tame and breed animals for various purposes, such as food, labor, and companionship.
• Commonly domesticated animals during this period included cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and dogs.
• Domestication of animals provided a stable source of food, materials (such as wool and leather), and assistance in agricultural activities.

Therefore, the correct answer is C: 1 and 3 only, as the Neolithic culture is primarily characterized by the practice of agriculture and the domestication of animals. The technology of smelting metal ore, although emerging during this period, is more closely associated with later periods such as the Bronze Age.

Kelvin is the SI Unit of measurement of temperatures. It is represented with the Unit Kelvin 'K'.

Temperatures can be converted from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273 to the Celsius Scale.

We have been given 3 temperatures here which are in the Celsius Scale.

25°C, 38°C and 66°C

To convert all of them to the Kelvin Scale, add 273 to all of them.

25 + 273 = 298 K
38 + 273 = 311 K
66 + 273 = 339 K

• Anger: Excessive noise can lead to increased levels of stress and frustration, which may result in feelings of anger.

Therefore, the correct answer is A: Malaria as it is not a direct effect of noise pollution.

• Statement 1: Correct. The Harappan Civilization used a sophisticated system of weights and measures, often based on multiples of 16, which indicates their advanced understanding of standardization and trade.
• Statement 2: Incorrect. The script of the Harappan Civilization remains undeciphered. Despite numerous efforts, the meaning of the symbols is still unknown.
• Statement 3: Correct. Archaeologists have discovered over 1500 sites associated with the Harappan Civilization across the Indian subcontinent.

Thus, only two statements are correct.

Piaget's theory of cognitive development is a comprehensive view of human intelligence's nature and development.
Statement I: Preadolescent children are unable to think abstractly or hypothetically.

• The third stage of Piaget's theory of cognitive development is the concrete operational stage.
• The preoperational stage takes place between the ages of 7 and 11 (preadolescence) years. 
•  A child's mental processes evolve and become more adult-like throughout this stage. 
• Children's abstract, hypothetical thinking has not yet formed, and they can only handle problems involving actual events or objects.

Thus, Statement I is correct.
Statement II: In the formal operational stage a child is able to use symbols related to abstract concepts.

• The pre-operational stage as defined by Piaget begins when a child learns to speak at the age of two and lasts until the child reaches the age of seven.
• During this period, children get more engaged in pretending and playing.
• Symbolic play and manipulating symbols are the two basic categories of children's play. 
• Their observations of symbols exemplify the concept of play without the use of physical items.

So, Statement II is correct. 
Therefore, Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.

Objectivity of the research be enhanced by:

• Reliability: Reliability is the extent to which an experiment, test, or any measuring procedure yields the same result on repeated trials.
• Validity: Validity refers to the degree to which a study accurately reflects or assesses the specific concept that the researcher is attempting to measure.
• Impartiality: Bias is a huge obstacle for researchers in achieving credibility and accuracy. When allowing their personal beliefs influence their methods to attain a certain outcome, they are missing the first principle of researching: impartiality.

Caste-based politics has, at times, provided marginalized communities with a platform to demand their fair share of power. By organizing around caste identities and interests, marginalized groups like Dalits and OBC castes have been able to enhance their participation in decision-making processes and advocate for their rights within the political sphere. This engagement can empower historically disadvantaged communities and help address issues of social justice and representation.

The hard disk stores multiple types of data and applications. The documents and content that a user creates and saves, the software to operate the computer, and the applications like Word processor and Scratch are stored on the hard disk. The computer loads the instructions from secondary storage (hard disk) into main memory (RAM) as and when required. A secondary-storage device finishes its work and signals the CPU by setting a bit in the interrupt register.
