Subtract 2 from odd digits in given number and add 3 in even digits.

So, in new number there are two digits of five and two digits of seven.

Given number -        8 3 7 9 1 2

Descending order -  9 8 7 3 2 1

Hence, the position of only one digit, i.e. 7 remains unchanged.

Following the common explanation, we get “C is the immediate neighbor of X”.
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.

From the common explanation, we get “L is second to the left of O.
Hence, Option B is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:
References:
There are two persons between P and K, who is to the right of P.
R is adjacent to K and O.
M, who is the immediate right of K, is second to the left of P.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get the final arrangements:

As 'Ophthalmia' is a disease of 'Eye' in the same way 'Rickets' is the disease of 'Bone'.

From Statement 1:
A’s rank is five ranks below H's rank, whose rank is 19^th from the bottom.

Here, A’s rank is 10^th from the top.
From Statement 2:
A’s rank is seven ranks above F's rank, whose rank is 11^th from the bottom.

Here, A’s rank is 6^th from the top.
Hence option C is correct.

Thus, the code for REMAIN is 8@7$%6.

All the terms given in the question are cereals and gram is also one of the cereals.

After rearrangement, we get the following arrangement:

So, E is sitting 3rd to the left of D after rearrangement.
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.
