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".

GIVEN:

The average of 40 numbers = 25

CONCEPT:

Basic Average concept.

FORMULA USED:

Average = Sum of all numbers/Total numbers

CALCULATION:

Sum of numbers = 40 × 25 = 1000

23, 25 and 41 are mistakenly written as 32, 52 and 15 respectively.

⇒ Change in sum = (23 + 25 + 41) – (32 + 52 + 15)

= 89 – 99

= -10

Actual sum of numbers will be 10 less.

⇒ Sum of numbers = 1000 – 10 = 990

∴ Correct average = 990/40 = 24.75

In the question,

11² = 121

13² = 169

17² = 289

19² = 361

23² = 529

24² = 576

Thus we can say except for (24)² , all the given number is a square of a prime number.

Hence, Option (2) is correct.

A map legend or key is a visual explanation of the symbols used on the map. It typically includes a sample of each symbol (point, line, or area), and a short description of what the symbol means.

Various symbols are represented on a map to show the human and physical features and they are classified as Legend.

Like for representing the river , mountains and lakes i.e physical features on a topographic map the cartographers used small size symbols with specific colors to describe the exact figure which is being represented on the map.

Similarly, for the case of human features, the map depicts either a cross for church or a dotted line for pathway or some sort of sign for that object. Use of letter symbols are also done in order to represent the natural vegetation like reserved forest R or protected forest P, etc.

Given Statement: P < Q < R < S = T

Conclusion:

I. Q < T → True (As, Q < R < S = T → Thus, it is clear that Q < T. So, the conclusion is true)

II. P > S → False (As, P < Q < R < S → Thus, it is clear that P < S. So, the conclusion is false)

III. R = T → False (As, R < S = T → Thus, it is clear that R < T. So, the conclusion is false)

Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusion I follows".

The logic follows here is:

Given code = (Positional value ÷ 2)3

Positional value of "V" = 22

22 ÷ 2 = 11

(11)3 = 1331

Positional value of "P" = 16 

16 ÷ 2 = 8

(8)3 = 512

Similarly,

Positional value of "J" = 10

10 ÷ 2 = 5

(5)3 = 125

Hence, the correct answer is "125".
