Hence, option D is correct.

To solve the analogy problem where the pattern needs to be identified, let’s break it down step-by-step:

The analogy given is: 16 : 56 :: 32 : ?

We need to find the relationship between the numbers 16 and 56 and then apply that relationship to 32 to find the missing number.

1. Find the relationship between 16 and 56:

   • Step 1: Check the operations or patterns. Consider possible operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

   • Step 2: Test if multiplication could be a pattern:

     16×3.5=56

     This works as:

     16×3.5=56

     Thus, multiplying by 3.5 seems to be the pattern.

2. Apply the same pattern to 32:

   32×3.5=112

   Therefore, according to this pattern, the number that replaces the question mark should be 112.

3. Verify the other options:

   • 96: This is much larger than expected.
   • 112: Also too large.
   • 121: Similarly, too large.
   • 128: While close, it’s not the result from our multiplication pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is:

112

P sits to the immediate left of S.

Hence, option A is correct.

Checking → statement I:

References:

Point A is 3km north of library.

Point C is 3km North of Point B.

Point D is 3km East of point C.

Inferences:

From the above references, we can conclude that instruction about college is missing in statement I.

So, we can’t determine the direction between library and college.

Thus, statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Checking → Statement II:

References:

College is 7km North of point F.

Point D is 6km North of point E.

Library is 7km west of point E.

Point F is 4km East of point E.

Inferences:

From the above references, we can conclude the following.

We can conclude that library is to the South West direction with respect to college.

Thus, statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, option B is correct.

Following the common explanation, we get “C and Z sits two places away from Y”.
Hence, option D is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:
References:
1. Two people are sitting between A and Z.
2. C sits fourth to the right of Z.
3. The number of people sitting to the right of A is the same as the number of people sitting to the left of Z.
4. The number of people sitting between A and C is the same as the number of people sitting between X and C.
5. X is an immediate neighbour of D, who sits on one of the ends.
6. The number of people sitting between D and C is the same as the number of people sitting between C and Y.
7. At most 25 people are sitting in a row.
Inferences:
From reference 1, we get two possible cases.
From reference 7, case2 was eliminated.
Hence, Case 1 is the final arrangement.

1) Medha is sitting diagonally opposite Radha.

We can randomly place Medha on any seat and then we can place Radha opposite her.

2) Medha is on Seema’s left.

3) Raman is next to Seema and opposite Govind.

Raman must be to Seema's right as Medha is to her left.

4) Govind is on Chandra’s right.

Implies, Chandra is sitting between Govind and Radha.

5) Shanti is not on Medha’s right but is opposite to Shashi.

Implies, Shanti is to the immediate left of Medha, and Sashi is between Radha and Raman.

Hence, "Seema" is opposite Chandra.

As short form of 'Mountain' is 'Hill' similarly 'Tank' is short form of 'River'.

Let X and Y be two buses. Bus X travels the PA, AB, BC, CD.
Now, AD = BC = 25 km.
So, PD = PA +AD = 50km.
Bus Y travels 35km upto E.
Distance between two buses = PQ – (PD + QE)
= [150 – (50 + 35)] = 65 km.

From the final arrangement, we can say that Q sits second to the right of the one who sits opposite to R.
Hence, Option C is correct.
References:
Q sits second to the right of P.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get two different cases:
In case 1, P sits at the corner or in the middle of the side of the table.

References:
R is not an immediate neighbor of P.
R faces inside.
R sits third to the left of W.
Inferences:
From the above references, we get different cases for R, in case 1(a) in which R faces P and in case 1(b) R faces Q.

References:
T sits third to the left of U.
V sits second to the left of U.
Inferences:
So, from this case 1(b) and case 2 will be eliminated as there is no possible place for V in these cases after placing U and T. Hence, we get our final arrangement in which S sits on the immediate left of P and V sits on the immediate right of R.
Final arrangement:

M is son-in-law of K, brother-in-law of J. It means K is the father/mother of M’s wife. J is brother of M’s wife. Hence J is K’s son.
