According to question,
A's weight is twice as much as of B.
1. A = 2B.
B's weight is four and half times as much as of C.
2. B = 4.5C
C's weight is half times as much as of D.
3. C = D/2.
D's weight is half as much as of E.
4. D = E/2.
E weight is less than A but more than C.
5. A > E > C
from 1 and 2
6. A = 2B = 9C
from 6 and 3
7. A = 2B = 9C = 4.5D
from 7 and 4
8. A = 2B = 9C = 4.5D = 2.25E
so from 8 and 5
A > B > E > D > C

So A is the heaviest in the weight.

Q, R, S, T, U, and V are seated in a straight line facing North.

i) S is second to the right of T.

ii) T is second to the right of Q.

iii) R is to the immediate left of Q

iv) R is to the immediate left of Q and is second to the left of V.

Thus we can see there are two persons seating between S and V.

Hence, the correct answer is "Two".

Checking Statement I:

As per hints, following arrangements can be formed

H > J > K > I > G > F

Clearly H earns the maximum amount.

Hence data in statement I is sufficient to answer the question.

Checking Statement I:

As per hints, following arrangements can be formed

H > J > K > I > G > F

Clearly H earns the maximum amount.

Hence data in statement II is sufficient to answer the question.

Here, the data in either Statement I or II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, Option C is correct.

P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, and Z are sitting around a circle facing at the centre not necessarily in this same order.

i) T is second to the right of R who is third to the right of P.

Mistake Points

Who is used for the second person in a connecting statement.

For example: 

T is second to the right of R who is third to the right of P.

Here, who is used for R and not for T.

ii) S is second to the left of P and fourth to the right of Q.

iii) V who is not an immediate neighbour of P. (This means V cannot sit immediate left or right of P).

iv) Z is third to the right of V 

Thus we can see R is second to the right of W

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Checking Statement I:

Akhil > Chetan > Ekta/Bina

But we don't know whether Dinesh or Chetan is the second tallest.

Hence data in statement I is not sufficient to answer the question.

Checking Statement II:

Akhil > Dinesh/Chetan> Dinesh/Chetan > Bina > Ekta

But we don't know whether either Dinesh or Chetan is the second tallest.

Hence data in statement II is not sufficient to answer the question.

Checking both statements I and II:

Akhil > Dinesh/Chetan> Dinesh/Chetan > Bina > Ekta

Still, we cannot determine the second tallest person.

Hence data in both statements I and II is not sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, Option D is correct.

The family chart is as follows:

i) A is father of C and D is son of B.

ii) E is brother of A.

iii) If C is sister of D

Drawing the family tree as per the given information:

Thus we can see B is the wife of A.

E is the brother of A.

Thus we can conclude B is the sister-in-law of E.

Hence, the correct answer is "Sister-in-law".

1st term = 6
2nd term = 6 + 5 = 11
3rd term = 11 + 10 = 21
4th term = 21 + 15 = 36
5th term = 36 + 20 = 56

Thus, Missing Number is 6th term = 56 + 25 = 81

From Statement I: From this statement, we get the following table,

So, we get that 3 persons are born between L and G.

From Statement I: From this statement, we get the following table,

Clearly, data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question as in both cases, two different answers are there. So we can't exactly say which case is correct as per statement II.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

Checking Statement I:

Using the above references, we get the following cases:

Case 1:

Case 2:

 Since there is no clear information about the position of Ramesh so, we cannot say anything about the person who sits on the immediate left of Ramesh.

Statement II:

Using the above references, we get the following cases:

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

Checking both statements I and II:

Using the both statements, we get the following arrangement:

Clearly, Both statement I and II are sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, Option D is correct.
