The logic is:

Column 1: 9 × 5 × 3 = 135

Column 2: 5 × 7 × 4 = 140 

Similarly,

Let the missing number in column 3 be 'a'.

So, 5 × a × 5 = 150

⇒ 25 × a = 150

⇒ a = 150 ÷ 25

⇒ a = 6

Hence, ‘6’ is the correct answer.

Following the common explanation, we get “C and Z sits two places away from Y”.
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.

v₁ = speed in first half

D = total distance traveled = 50 km

d₁ = distance of the first half = 25 km

t₁ = time taken in first half

t₁ = d₁ /v₁

t₁ = 25/v₁                                                 (1)

for the second half :

v₂ = speed in second half = v₁ + 10

d₂ = distance of the second half = 25 km

t₂ = time taken in second half

t₂ = d₂ /v₂

t₂ = 25/(v₁ + 10)                                          (2)

given that :

t₁ - t₂ = 5/60                        (5 min in h = 5/60 h)

(25/v₁ ) - (25/(v₁ + 10)) = 5/60

v₁ = 50 km/h

The key difference between a contingent contract and a wagering agreement is that a wagering agreement typically involves a bet on an uncertain event, where the outcome is based purely on chance. In contrast, a contingent contract may involve obligations that arise from conditions that are not solely based on chance or luck. Wagering agreements are generally considered void under the law, while contingent contracts can be legally binding if they meet specific criteria. This distinction is important for understanding the legal enforceability of these types of agreements.
