The correct answer is Tamil Nadu

Key Points

Keeladi:

• Keeladi is a tiny hamlet in the Sivaganga district in south Tamil Nadu.
• It is about 12 km southeast of the temple city of Madurai and is located along the Vaigai river.
• The excavations here from 2015 prove that an urban civilization existed in Tamil Nadu in the Sangam age on the banks of the Vaigai river.

Sangam Age:

• Sangam Age broadly refers to the Ancient History of the Tamilakam, a region south of the Krishna River.
• Kharavelas Hatigumpha inscription, dated to c. 155 BCE provides the earliest epigraphic evidence alluding to a confederacy of Tamil states- Tramiradesasanghatanam, which was 113 years old at the time and had long been a source of danger. 

Relation between Keeladi and Sangam age:

• The Sangam age is a period of history in ancient Tamil Nadu that was believed to be from the third century BCE to the third century CE.
• In 2019, a TNSDA report dated the unearthed artefacts from Keeladi to a period between the sixth century BCE and the first century BCE.
• The findings in the TNSDA report placed Keeladi artefacts about 300 years earlier than the previously believed third century BCE.
• A recent ASI report in 2015 discovered Keeladi, has pushed the Sangam age to 800 BCE based on these archaeological findings.
• Keeladi could also provide crucial evidence for understanding the missing links between the Iron Age (12th century BCE to sixth century BCE) to the Early Historic Period (sixth century BCE to fourth century BCE).

1st term = 3 * 1 = 3
2nd term = 3 * 3 = 9
3rd term = 3 * 9 = 27
4th term = 3 * 27 = 81

Thus, Missing number is 5th term = 3 * 81 = 243

Let the number = x
70% of x + 90 = x

x = 300
Hence, Option A is correct.

According to the information given in the question, we can draw the following diagram.

Thus we can see if a man has to travel to point E from point A  (through these points by the shortest distance), he has to follow a path point A → B → F → E.

Thus travelling from point A, he will pass the first point B.

Hence, the correct answer is "Point B".

As position of M and N in Eq. alphabets are 13 and 14 respectively.Same position of F and R in Eq. alphabets are 6 and 18 respectively.

The family chart is as follows:

i) A is father of C and D is son of B.

ii) E is brother of A.

iii) If C is sister of D

Drawing the family tree as per the given information:

Thus we can see B is the wife of A.

E is the brother of A.

Thus we can conclude B is the sister-in-law of E.

Hence, the correct answer is "Sister-in-law".

Distance=600 km

Speed=100 km/hr

Time =100/600​=6hr

Number of stops in 600 km=(600/75​)−1 = 7

Time of stopping after every 75 km = 3  min

Total time of stopping = 7×3 = 21min

Total time to cover 600 km is 6 hr 21 min.

Clearly, the order of letters in the word is reversed and then each letters is replaced by the numeral denoting its position in the English alphabet. Next, 2 is added to each numeral and the numerals so obtained are joined together physically to get the code. Thus, we have :

RED → DER → 4/5/18 → 6/7/20 → 6720.

GREEN → NEERG → 14/5/5/18/7 → 16/7/7/20/9 → 1677209.
Hence, option B is correct.

From the common explanation, we get (P, H) sits at the extreme end of the row.
Hence, Option D is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:
References:
Only two boys sit to the left of J.
Eight boys sit between R and J.
Only three boys sit between R and M.
Inferences:
From the above references, we get two different cases:

References:
P sits fourth to the right of R.
O sits third to the left of M.
Inferences:
So, from this case 2 will be eliminated as P sits fourth to the right of R.

References:
Only three boys sit between O and H.
T sits third to the right of M.
V sits fourth to the right of O.
More than 12 boys sit between P and H.
More than seven boys sit between P and J.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get the final arrangement:

Hence, Option D is correct.
