According to question,
A's weight is twice as much as of B.
1. A = 2B.
B's weight is four and half times as much as of C.
2. B = 4.5C
C's weight is half times as much as of D.
3. C = D/2.
D's weight is half as much as of E.
4. D = E/2.
E weight is less than A but more than C.
5. A > E > C
from 1 and 2
6. A = 2B = 9C
from 6 and 3
7. A = 2B = 9C = 4.5D
from 7 and 4
8. A = 2B = 9C = 4.5D = 2.25E
so from 8 and 5
A > B > E > D > C
So lightest in weight is C.

Checking Statement I:

Since there is no data given about Player and Champion, therefore, No player is Champion can not be derived.

Clearly, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Checking Statement II:

Statement II is the converse statement of the required conclusion.

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

Hence, Option B is correct.

A man walks 30 meters towards South, then turning to his right, he walks 30 meters, then turning to his left, he walks 20 meters, again turning to his left, he walks 30 meters. The figure are given below -

50 meters far is he from his starting point.

Hence, "50 meters" is the correct answer.

As the result of Race is Fatigue similarly the result of Fast is Hunger.

Carpenter, Plumber, Electrician and Blacksmith are in same working category.

'Jade' is a 'green' precious stone in the same way 'Garnet' is a 'red' precious stone.

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:

P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, and Z are sitting around a circle facing at the centre not necessarily in this same order.

i) T is second to the right of R who is third to the right of P.

Mistake Points

Who is used for the second person in a connecting statement.

For example: 

T is second to the right of R who is third to the right of P.

Here, who is used for R and not for T.

ii) S is second to the left of P and fourth to the right of Q.

iii) V who is not an immediate neighbour of P. (This means V cannot sit immediate left or right of P).

iv) Z is third to the right of V 

Thus we can see S is immediate left of Z.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

As 'Calf' is the youngest of 'Cow' similarly 'Kitten' is the young one of 'Cat'.

Logic: We have to make a family tree as per the above conditions.

Consider the below symbols.

The family tree for the given problem is as follows:

In the question, Her father is the only son of my father means woman's father and the man's father's only son is the same person means he is talking about himself. 

As the man is the father of that woman.

Therefore, the correct answer should be "Option 1: Father".
