If you fold the lower part to upper direction from dotted line , it will cover the upper part figure exactly and will make half circle.

As, 68 = (4)³ + 4

    130 = (5)³ + 5

and 350 = (7)³ + 7

Therefore, ? = (6)³ + 6 = 222

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.

Checking Statement I:
Using the above references, we get the following arrangement:

Since there is no information about the position of Bhanu so we cannot find the person who sits on the immediate right of Bhanu.

Hence, data in statement I alone is not sufficient.
Checking Statement II:
Using the above references, we get the following arrangement:

Clearly, Prakash sits on the immediate right of Bhanu.

Hence, data in statement II alone is sufficient.

Hence, Option B is correct.

From Statement 1:

C = X ≤ D ≥ R

From the statement, the conclusion H < D is not followed because H is absent.

From Statement 2:

R > Z = O > H

From the statement, the conclusion H < D is not followed because D is absent.

From Statement1 and Statement2:

We have, C = X ≤ D ≥ R > Z = O > H

From the statement, H < O = Z < R ≤ D, the conclusion H < D is followed.

Hence option D is correct.

The total distance = 15 + 20 + 30 + 15 = 80m
