Following the common explanation, we get “C is the immediate neighbor of X”.
Hence, option D is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:
References:
1. Two people are sitting between A and Z.
2. C sits fourth to the right of Z.
3. The number of people sitting to the right of A is the same as the number of people sitting to the left of Z.
4. The number of people sitting between A and C is the same as the number of people sitting between X and C.
5. X is an immediate neighbour of D, who sits on one of the ends.
6. The number of people sitting between D and C is the same as the number of people sitting between C and Y.
7. At most 25 people are sitting in a row.
Inferences:
From reference 1, we get two possible cases.
From reference 7, case2 was eliminated.
Hence, Case 1 is the final arrangement.

From the common explanation, we get “L is second to the left of O.
Hence, Option B is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:
References:
There are two persons between P and K, who is to the right of P.
R is adjacent to K and O.
M, who is the immediate right of K, is second to the left of P.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get the final arrangements:

Hence, the correct ans is UIJOL which is option b.

In Eq. alphabets positions of K and T are 11 and 20 respectively.

Similarly positions of J and R are 10 and 18.

= (5 + 4)km
= 9km
Required distance = AB
= (5 + 4)km
= 9 km

From Statement I:

From this statement, we get the following ranking.

Person in the row = 8 persons + Akansha + 4 persons + Rhea + 7 persons + Harshita + 8 persons

So, we get that Rhea is 17th from the bottom in the class.

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

From Statement II:

From this statement, we get the following ranking.

Person in the row = 11 persons + Yamini + 13 persons + Rhea + 4 persons

So, we get that Rhea is 5th from the bottom in the class.

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

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

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

From Statement 1:
H sits to the immediate right of D.
Two persons sit between D and F.
A is an immediate neighbour of M, who sits to the immediate right of F.

So, H sits to the immediate left of N.
The data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
From Statement 2:
F and N are immediate neighbours and M sits immediate right of F.
A sits third to the left of N.
Here, we can not determine who sits immediate left of N.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

By using the symbols in the table given below, we can draw the following family tree:

Clearly, C is the grandchild of A.

Hence, ‘Grandchild’ is the correct answer.

Daughter of grandmother = Aunt
Aunt’s only brother = Father

After rearrangement, we get the following arrangement:

So, E is sitting 3rd to the left of D after rearrangement.
Hence, Option C is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common explanation:
References:
Six person A, B, C, D, E and F sit around a triangular table.
One person sits at each corner of the table facing away from the centre while one person sits at the middle of each edge facing toward the centre.
Inferences:
So, we need to arrange as follows to accommodate the information as stated in the question,

References:
Three persons sit between C and D, who is not facing the centre.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get two different cases:
Case 1:

Case 2:

References:
F sits third to the left of C.
A sits second to the left of E.
A is not an immediate neighbour of D.
Inferences:
So, from this case 2 will be eliminated as A is not an immediate neighbour of D.
Case 1:

Case 2: (Eliminated)

Hence, Case 1 is the final arrangement.

Persons: A, B, C, D, E and F

1) E is sitting immediate left to the B.

2) A is sitting fourth right to the B.

3) F is sitting between A and D.

4) Final Sitting arrangement.

Hence, “C” is sitting immediate left to the D.
