Key Points

Keeladi:

• Keeladi is a tiny hamlet in the Sivaganga district in south Tamil Nadu.
• It is about 12 km southeast of the temple city of Madurai and is located along the Vaigai river.

• A recent ASI report in 2015 discovered Keeladi, has pushed the Sangam age to 800 BCE based on these archaeological findings.
• Keeladi could also provide crucial evidence for understanding the missing links between the Iron Age (12th century BCE to sixth century BCE) to the Early Historic Period (sixth century BCE to fourth century BCE).

Hence, Option D is correct.

Hence, Option D is correct.

Diameter of the circle = breadth of the rectangle = 42 meters
Radius of the circle

So the answer 

Hence, Option D is correct.

Let AB be the observation tower and h be its height.

Also, let the ship be at C when the angle of elevation is 30° and at D when the angle of elevation is 45°.

The time taken by the ship to travel from C to D is 10 minutes and we need to find out the time the ship will take to reach B from D.

∴ tan 30º = AB/CB = h / CB = 1/ √3

⇒ CB = √3 x h

∴ tan 45º = AB / DB = h / DB = 1

⇒ DB = h

⇒ CD = CB – DB = (√3h – h) = h(√3– 1)

Now, as h(√3 – 1) distance is covered in 10 minutes, a distance of h is covered in = 13.66 minutes = 13 minutes 40 seconds

Length of the rectangle = 5x
Breadth of the rectangle = 4x
5x × 4x = 320
x² = 16
x = 4
So the answer = 2 × (5x + 4x) = 2 × 9x = 2 × 9 × 4 = 72 cm
Hence, Option B is correct.

In the question, We have to find the common to all three figures which is shown below-

Here, The highlighted area is common to all shapes.

Hence, Option (3) is correct.

From the final arrangement, we get “Q sits second to the right of the one who sits immediate left of M.
Hence, Option C is correct.
References:
O sits 3^rd to the right of N.
One who sits just behind O is to the immediate right of E.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get the following cases:

References:
B is neither at any of the extreme ends nor sits exactly behind O.
The number of people sitting between C and E, is the same as the number of people sitting between E and B.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get the following cases:

References:
D doesn’t sit at any of the extreme ends.
P sits on a seat which is exactly ahead of A.
M is not exactly ahead of E.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get the following cases:
Case 1: Position of D cannot be fixed, thus this case is eliminated.
​​​​​​​
Case 2: We get the final arrangement as below:

The correct option is Option B.
