According to the given information,

Hence, Northeast is the correct answer.

According to the given information,

Hence, Southeast is the correct answer.

In the word 'SPECTACLES', letters P, T and L are immediately followed by a vowel so they are replaced by with E and vowels E, A and E are immediately followed by a consonant so they are replaced by with R as follows -

SERCERCERS

Now, four letters S and C are repeated twice only.

Hence, the correct answer is Two.

The least possible diagram for the given statement is as follows,

Conclusions:

I. Some Cities is not Country → False (As there is no direct or negative relation between cities and country, it is possible that some cities can be country. So, some cities is not country is false. Hence, it does not follow)

II. All Country being Cities is a possibility →True (As there is no direct or negative relation between cities and country, all country being cities is a possibility. Hence, it follows)

Thus, Only Conclusion II follows.

People = A, B, C, D, E, F, P, Q, R, S, T, and U

1) Two people are sitting between C and A.

2) Neither C nor A is sitting at any of the extreme ends.

(Implies, C and A are sitting at the second seats from either end.)

3) U is sitting second to the left of the person who is facing A.

(If we place A at the second seat from the right end then we won’t be able to place U second to the left of the person who is facing A. Thus, A is sitting at the second seat from the left end and C is sitting at the second seat from the right end. Also, it means that U is sitting at the 3 seats from the left end.)

4) Two people are sitting between U and R.

(There is only one way for this to be possible i.e. if we place R at the rightmost end in the north-facing row.)

5) Q is sitting fourth to the left of T.

(As both Q and T are sitting in the north-facing row, there is only one way we can place them so that they satisfy the given condition i.e. if we place Q at the leftmost seat and T to the immediate right of R.)

2) Neither C nor A is sitting at any of the extreme ends.

(Implies, C and A are sitting at the second seats from either end.)

3) U is sitting second to the left of the person who is facing A.

(If we place A at the second seat from the right end then we won’t be able to place U second to the left of the person who is facing A. Thus, A is sitting at the second seat from the left end and C is sitting at the second seat from the right end. Also, it means that U is sitting at the 3 seats from the left end.)

4) Two people are sitting between U and R.

(There is only one way for this to be possible i.e. if we place R at the rightmost end in the north-facing row.)

2) Q and S are sitting fourth to the right of each other.

(Implies, three persons are sitting between Q and S who are facing different directions.)

3) R is sitting second to the left of Q who is facing south.

(As Q is facing south, implies, S is facing north. Also, we know that S is sitting on the second seat from one of the ends. It is only possible if we place S on the second seat from the west. It also means that V is sitting to the immediate left of S. We can place Q and R accordingly. Also, as S is facing north, implies, V must be facing south because they are facing different directions.)

4) Three persons are sitting between T and V both are facing different directions.

(Implies, T is facing north and he is sitting to the immediate right of Q.)

5) R is sitting fourth to the left of P who is facing the same direction as R.

(It is only possible if P is facing south and sitting to the immediate left of T. It also implies that P is also facing south. Also, now that we have identified the four people who are facing south, we can safely say that the remaining four are facing north.)

6) W is not an immediate neighbour of Q.

(Implies, W is sitting between S and P as it is the only possibility. Also, now that only one person is left i.e. U, we can place him between Q and R.)

Clearly, two people are sitting to the left of Q.

1) S is the only immediate neighbour of V and S is not facing the same direction as V.

(Implies, V is sitting on one of the extreme ends.)

2) Q and S are sitting fourth to the right of each other.

(Implies, three persons are sitting between Q and S who are facing different directions.)

3) R is sitting second to the left of Q who is facing south.

(As Q is facing south, implies, S is facing north. Also, we know that S is sitting on the second seat from one of the ends. It is only possible if we place S on the second seat from the west. It also means that V is sitting to the immediate left of S. We can place Q and R accordingly. Also, as S is facing north, implies, V must be facing south because they are facing different directions.)

4) Three persons are sitting between T and V both are facing different directions.

(Implies, T is facing north and he is sitting to the immediate right of Q.)

5) R is sitting fourth to the left of P who is facing the same direction as R.

(It is only possible if P is facing south and sitting to the immediate left of T. It also implies that P is also facing south. Also, now that we have identified the four people who are facing south, we can safely say that the remaining four are facing north.)

6) W is not an immediate neighbour of Q.

(Implies, W is sitting between S and P as it is the only possibility. Also, now that only one person is left i.e. U, we can place him between Q and R.)

Given word - “BONAFIDE”

There are a total of 6 pairs of letters in the word which has as many letters between them as there are in the English alphabetical series, 4 pairs forward and 2 pairs backward.

Hence, the correct answer is Six.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows,

Conclusion:

I. Some month are day → False (As there is no direct relation given between month and day so we cannot define it)

II. Each date being day is a possibility → True( As there is relation of some between date and day but for remaining no information is provided in that case possibility will be true here)

Possible diagram:-

Hence, only conclusion II follows.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows,

Conclusions:

I. Some gadgets are tablets → False (it is possible but not definite)

II. All mobiles being tablets is a possibility → True (as only a few tablets are mobiles)

Thus, only conclusion II follows.

Eight people - P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W.

1- U lives on an even numbered floor below floor 5.

2- T lives two floors above U.

3- Only one person lives between V and T.

4- There are only three people lives between W and T.

5- W lives immediately above R.

6- P lives on floor 3.

7- Only one person lives between Q and P and Q lives above P.

8- S lives above U. So case-2 gets eliminated.

So, Final arrangement;

Hence, U lives three floors above R.

The least possible venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusion:

I. Some butterfly are party → False (It is possible but not definite, because no definite relation is given between the elements, therefore we will consider it as false)

II. All muffin are home is a possibility → False (As the relation of “only a few” is given between the elements which implies that “some” and “some not” are true, no other relationship is true except these two)

Hence, neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Statements: S ≥ V, V ≤ A, A < I, I ≥ W

On Combining: S ≥ V ≤ A < I ≥ W

Conclusions:

I. S ≥ I → False (as S ≥ V ≤ A < I so, there is no direct relation between S and I)

II. V ≤ I → False (as V ≤ A < I so, there is no direct relation between V and I)

There is no direct relation between S and I from conclusion I, so conclusion I does not follow.

There is no direct relation between V and I from conclusion II, so conclusion II does not follow.

Thus, None follows.

Given word:QUICKSTEP

2nd letter = U;

6th letter = S;

7th letter = T;

8th letter = E;

9th letter = P

Letters given: U, S, T, E, P

Possible words are: Upset, Setup and Stupe.

Since, three meaningful words can be made using the mentioned letters.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows-

Conclusions:

I. Some MTV is ZeeTV → False (It is possible but not definite)

II. No ZeeTV is MTV → False (It is possible but not definite)

Conclusion I and II form complementary pairs.

Hence, either conclusion I or II follows.

Additional Information:

Conditions for the Either Or:

1. Both the conclusion must be Cannot be determined.

2. Both the objects in both the conclusion must be same.

3. If one conclusion is positive, then other should be negative.

Complementary pairs:

1. All - Some not (Positions of the object should be same in the conclusion)

2. Some - No
