Conclusions:

I. No university is accredited → False (It is definitely false because some university is accredited)

Given,

1, 5, 5, 9, 7, 11, 11, 15, 12, 17

The pattern followed here is, +4, ×1, +4, -2 are being operated on each terms consecutively.

1 + 4 = 5

5 × 1 = 5

5 + 4 = 9

9 - 2 = 7

7 + 4 = 11

11 × 1 = 11

11 + 4 = 15

15 - 2 = 13

13 + 4 = 17

So, O is the correct answer.

By interchanging the signs as per the options,

(A) 6 + 11 ÷ 87 × 3 - 6 = 89

= 6 + 0.12 × 3 - 6

= 3.37 ≠ 89

(B) 6 ÷ 11 - 87 × 3 + 6 = 89

= 0.5454 - 261 + 6 

= -254.46 ≠ 89

(C) 6 × 11 + 87 ÷ 3 - 6 = 89

= 66 + 29 - 6 = 89

(D) 6 - 11 + 87 × 3 ÷ 6 = 89

= 6 - 11 + 87 × 0.5

= 43.5 + 6 - 11

= 38.5 ≠ 89

From option (A):

From option (B):

From option (C):

From option (D):

We know that the half-shaded face will be opposite to the square face.
So, option (A) and (D) are incorrect.
