Cornerstone (noun): an important quality or feature on which a particular thing depends or is based.
Crux (noun): the decisive or most important point at issue.
Premise (noun): a previous statement or proposition from which another is inferred or follows as a conclusion.
The idea here is to express that a healthy environment is the basis of a healthy climate. Thus, ‘cornerstone’ and ‘crux’ fit the blank while ‘premise’ is contextually weak.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

The statement implies that inflation rates have attained levels that has been never seen before. The sentence is in present perfect tense which is indicated by the use of ‘have’. The blank will take a verb in the past participle form which means 'to attain a certain level'. Among the given options, only the word ‘reached’ fits in the given blank.

This eliminates all other options.

Complement of 30°20′ = 90° – ( 30°20′ ) = 90° – ( 30° + 20′ )
= (89° – 30°) + (1° – 20′)
= 59° + 60′ – 20′ [ ∴ 1° = 60°′]
= 59° + 40′ = 59°40′.

Sum of 100 numbers =100×210=21000
Sum of 120 numbers =120×200=24000
Sum of 20 numbers =24000−21000=3000
∴ Average of 20 new numbers =3000/20=150

Hence, Option D is correct.

81% of 600 – x = 40% of 300
486 – x = 120
x = 366
Hence, Option C is correct.

Hence, Option A is correct.

Let AB be the wall and BC be the ladder.

Then, ACB = 60º and AC = 4.6 m.

⇒ BC = 2 x AC
= (2 x 4.6) m
= 9.2 m.

Total surface area of cube = 6a²

Curved surface area of cube = 4a² 

Volume of cube = a³

(4²)^3/2 = (4)^{3/2 ×2} = (4)³ = 64

1) 6941 ⇒ the square boxing ring

2) 5713 ⇒ put the box out

In 1) and 2) one number is common i. e. ‘1’ and one word is common i. e. ‘the’.

Hence, in code language, 1 = the

3) 1259 ⇒ box in the ring

In 1) and 3) two number are common i. e. 1 and 9, and also two words are common i. e. ‘the’ and ‘ring’.

But we know 1 is the code number for ‘the’, implies 9 is the code number for ‘ring’.

Code for 1 is the.

Code for 5 is box.

Code for 9 is ring.

Hence, "9" is the correct answer.

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

The pattern followed is:

Hence, the correct answer is "PM".

From the common explanation, we get B sits second to the left of D.
Hence, Option D is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common explanation:
References:
Six person A, B, C, D, E and F sit around a triangular table.
One person sits at each corner of the table facing away from the centre while one person sits at the middle of each edge facing toward the centre.
Inferences:
So, we need to arrange as follows to accommodate the information as stated in the question,

References:
Three persons sit between C and D, who is not facing the centre.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get two different cases:
Case 1:

Case 2:

References:
F sits third to the left of C.
A sits second to the left of E.
A is not an immediate neighbour of D.
Inferences:
So, from this case 2 will be eliminated as A is not an immediate neighbour of D.
Case 1:

Case 2: (Eliminated)

Hence, Case 1 is the final arrangement.
