P is male member and married to Q.
P is husband and Q is wife.
R is brother of P.
S is the son of R.
T, who is the sister of S will be daughter of R.

On decoding L θ Z β T means L is the mother of Z and Z is the sister of T.

i) L is mother of T → True
ii) L is father of T → False (as L is mother of T) 
iii) T is father of L → False (as T is either son or daughter of L)
iv) Z is daughter of T → False (as Z is sister of T)
Hence, 'L is mother of T' is the correct answer.

From Statement I:  From this statement, we have three possible scenarios as shown:

Clearly, Statement I alone is insufficient to answer the question.

From Statement II:

From this statement, we get the following table

Clearly, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Now combining both the statements, we get,

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

From the common explanation, we get Sagar scored 2nd lowest marks.

Hence, Option D is correct.

References:

Tarun scored more marks than Priyam but less than Rahul.

Sagar neither scored 3rd highest nor scored lowest marks.

Priyam scored more marks than Anurag.

Sagar scored less than Tarun, who scored 87 marks.

Inferences:

From the above references, we get the following arrangements

Rahul > Tarun (87) > Priyam > Sagar > Anurag

From the common explanation, we get E is sitting between C and D.
Hence, Option C 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.

Paper is folding from upper part to lower part and it will make a triangle in lower side area. Please take a transparent paper and draw the similar figure and fold it.

From the common explanation, we can say that H sits 3rd to the left of the one who sits opposite to D.

Hence, Option B is correct.

Common Explanation:

References:

One person sits between A and C, who sits second to the right of H.

G sits opposite to B.

Both G and B do not sit immediate left of H.

Inferences:

From the above reference, we get two different cases:

References:

D sits second to the left of B.

A doesn’t sit beside D.

E doesn’t face C.

Inferences:

From the above reference, case 1 will be eliminated because A doesn’t sit beside of D.

So, the final arrangement:

Answer: C

Explanation:
The word that is different from the rest is Scallop (C). The reasons are as follows:
- Oyster (A), Clam (B), and Mussel (D) are all bivalve mollusks, meaning they have a shell that is divided into two hinged parts. On the other hand, Scallop (C) is also a bivalve mollusk, but it has some unique features that set it apart.
- Scallop's unique features:
- Scallops have a distinct shell shape, which is rounder and flatter compared to the other three.
- Scallops have an ability to swim by opening and closing their shells rapidly, which is not a common feature among the other three mollusks.
- The adductor muscle of the scallop, the part that is commonly consumed, is larger and more developed than in oysters, clams, or mussels, making it a more popular choice for culinary dishes.
These differences make Scallop (C) the word that stands out from the rest.All except Scallop, live in shells.
