Given statements: P > Q; Q > R; R > S; S > T.

On combining: P > Q > R > S > T

Conclusions

I. T < Q → True (as Q > R > S > T → Q > T)

II. R < P → True (as P > Q > R → P > R)

Hence, both of the conclusions are true.

P*Q^R@S#T*P: P is elder than Q, Q is child of R, R is brother of S, S is younger than T, T is elder than P.
The age of Q is 22 years and age of T is 33 years.

T(33) > P > Q
Hence, the age of P is 29 years.

X is towards the east wrt to P

Let the age of Shyam = x year
Then, age of Ram = 2x year
and age of Sohan = 4x year
∴ 4x > 2x > x
On arranging the above data, we get
∴ Sohan > Ram > Shyam > Mohan
So, Sohan is the eldest.

So Option C is correct

(5 x 3) + 4 = 19

and (6 x 4) + 5 = 29

Therefore, (7 x 5) + 6 = 41

'All in the same boat' figuratively means that a group of people is facing the similar situations or difficulties. Option 4 represents this meaning correctly.
Example- At times of danger all humans seem to be in the same boat irrespective of divides.

The correct form of the word would be 'likes'. This is because the subject of the sentence is singular. 

The correct option is Option 2, i.e., ‘get down to’.
The sentence talks about a manager telling his subordinates that enough discussion was done and it was time to work. The phrasal verb ‘get down to’ means ‘to get serious about something’. Hence, the correct option is Option 2.

'Chivalry' is the quality in a man of being highly courteous in his presentation. None of the other options means the same as that of the given phrase.

Example-Chivalrous men are difficult to be found in today's world.

The sentence shows a prediction that India will hold talks with Afghanistan in the future on militancy. It depicts a simple future form in nature. Thus, as it is already in the said simple future tense, no further improvement is required.
Hence option 4 is correct.

The correct option is 1.
The sentence is a question and therefore, must begin with an interrogative tone. The phrase ‘You have been doing’ should be rewritten as ‘Have you been doing’ for the sentence to form a proper question. Hence, the error lies in the first phrase.
