The family chart is as follows:

i) A is brother of B
ii) B is brother of C
iii) C is husband of D
iv) E is father of A
Drawing the family tree as per the given information:

Thus we can see D is the Daughter - in - law of E.
Hence, the correct answer is "Daughter - in - law".

A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting in a circle facing towards centre.

i) A is second to the left of D and second to the right of E.

ii) D is between F and B.

The final arrangement is:

Thus C is facing towards D.

Hence, the correct answer is "C".

Logic: We have to make a family tree as per the above conditions.

Consider the below symbols.

The family tree for the given problem is as follows:

In the question, Her father is the only son of my father means woman's father and the man's father's only son is the same person means he is talking about himself. 

As the man is the father of that woman.

Therefore, the correct answer should be "Option 1: Father".  

The logic is:

Column 1: 9 × 5 × 3 = 135

Column 2: 5 × 7 × 4 = 140 

Similarly,

Let the missing number in column 3 be 'a'.

So, 5 × a × 5 = 150

⇒ 25 × a = 150

⇒ a = 150 ÷ 25

⇒ a = 6

Hence, ‘6’ is the correct answer.

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 Z sit second to the right of T.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

'Jade' is a 'green' precious stone in the same way 'Garnet' is a 'red' precious stone.

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

As per the figure, Manas who is facing southwest, turns 135° anticlockwise. Thus, he will be facing East.

It is given that he would face the same direction as Tanya. Hence, Tanya will also be facing East.

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

From Statement II: From this statement, we get the following inference:

As per the figure, Dinesh who is facing northeast, turns 90° clockwise. Thus, he will be facing southeast. Also, southeast is 180° to the direction of Tanya. Hence, Tanya will be facing northwest.

Clearly, Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Therefore, the question can be answered using both statement I alone or statement II alone.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

The given series consists of consecutive prime numbers starting from 17. The next prime number after 29 is 31.

From the given question, by using Pythagoras theorem, we get,

We need to find 
⇒AB² + BC² + CD² + DE²  
By putting the value from the equation (1), we get,
⇒ AC² + CD² + DE²
⇒ By putting the value from the equation (2), we get,
⇒ AD2 + DE²
By putting the value from the equation (3), we get,
⇒ AE²
Hence, the correct answer is AE².
