According to the question,
Anil > Sunny
Baby > Sunny
Anil > Sunny > Bose
Anil > Baby
On arranging the above data, we get
Anil > Baby > Sunny > Bose
so, shortest person is Bose

So Option D is correct

Statements:   T > K > Y ,    J ≤ K = G ,    I > C ≥ G ,  M ≤ I < N
Conclusions:  N > K ,    C ≤ T,     M < J
For Conclusion I: N > K
From statements II, III and IV, we get:
N > I > C ≥ G = K
Here, the common sign between N and K is '>'. Thus N > K.
Hence conclusion I follows.
For Conclusion II: C ≤ T
From statements I, II and III, we get:
C ≥ G = K < T
Here, we can see the opposite sign between C and  T , thus no relationship can be established between them.
Hence conclusion II does not follow.
For Conclusion III: M < J
From statements II, III and IV, we get:
M ≤ I > C ≥ G = K ≥ J
Here, we can see the opposite sign between M and J, thus no relationship can be established between them.
Hence conclusion III does not follow.
Therefore only conclusion I follows.
Hence option C is correct.

As, 123 → 13²

As, 235 → 25³

The middle digit of first term becomes power to the next term.

Following the final solution we can say that 3 persons sits between D and A.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Common Explanation:
Reference:
Only 3 persons sit to the left of R.
3 persons sit between R and Q.
Inference:
As we don’t know that in which direction exactly R is facing. So, we can say that there possible scenarios in which we can use the above information correctly.
Case 1:
R faces north.

Case 2:
R faces south.

Reference:
B is 2nd to the left of Q.
Neighbours of R face the south.
B and Q face in opposite direction.
Inference:
We can use the above information in both of the cases accordingly as shown in the figures:

Reference:
More than 2 people’s sits between B and S.
D is 2nd to the left of S.
Inference:
After studying the first information we can say that either 3 or 4 persons are sitting between B and S. and with the second hint we can place D according to S in the row and we can say that there are exactly 4 persons are sitting between B and S.

Reference:
Neighbours of P face the same direction.
A and P faces in opposite direction.
C is 2nd to the right of A.
Inference:
With the first hint we can say that our case 2 is an invalid case as we cannot place P with both of its neighbour facing the same direction.
And after placing P in case 1 we can fix the position of A and C easily and can complete the puzzle.

The following common explanation, we get "Kathir-300 kilometers".
Hence, option C is correct.

Each of them went for bike drive on different number of days among 5, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 15 but not necessarily in the same order.
Each of them also covered different kilometers among those days like 60, 96, 112, 210, 225 and 300 but not necessarily in the same order.
The number of days taken by Gautham is equal to the total number of days taken by Saran and Vibin.
Vishal went for drive for more number of days than Gautham.
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
Inferences
From above statements,
The number of days taken by Gautham is equal to the total number of days taken by Saran and Vibin.
Among given number of days, there are 2 possibilities for Gautham
Saran = 5 or 7 & Vibin = 7 or 5, and then Gautham = 5 + 7 = 12
Saran = 5 or 10 & Vibin = 10 or 5 and then Gautham = 5 + 10 = 15
Vishal went for drive for more number of days than Gautham.
Here, Vishal (No. of days) > Gautham (No. of days). It is clearly understood that, Gautham is taken only 12 days for bike drive since maximum number of days among given is 15.
By this, we also get that Visha hasl taken 15 days for bike drive (only possibility).
Now we know, Vishal = 15 days, Gautham = 12 days, Saran = 5 or 7 days and Vibin = 7 or 5 days
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
Given, Kathir (No. of days) > Priyan (No. of days).
Remaining days left are, 9 and 10. Therefore, Kathir = 10 days & Priyan = 9 days
By using above information, we get the initial table as follows,

References
Each of them also covered different kilometers among those days like 60, 96, 112, 210, 225 and 300 but not necessarily in the same order.
For all the persons, average is whole number and less than 50.
The average of Saran is equal to the number of days taken by Gautham for bike drive.
Inferences
From above statements,
The average of Saran is equal to the number of days taken by Gautham for bike drive.
We know Gautham has taken 12 days for bike drive.
Therefore average kilometer covered per day by Saran = 12
Also we know Saran has taken either 5 or 7 days.

Then, Total Kilometers covered by Saran = 12 × 7 = 84 Km (Which is not possible as 84 km is not given in statement)
Therefore we get that, Saran covered 60 Km in 5 days and Vibin has taken 7 days.
Thus we get the table as follows,

References
Each of them also covered different kilometers among those days like 60, 96, 112, 210, 225 and 300 but not necessarily in the same order.
For all the persons, average is whole number and less than 50.
The average of Vibin is twice the average of Gautham.
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
Inferences
From above statements,
For all the persons, average is whole number and less than 50.
We know total number of days taken by all persons. Now we have to check with given kilometers based on above said condition i.e. Average should be whole number & it is less than 50.
Remaining kilometers are 96, 112, 210, 225 and 300 but not necessarily in the same order.
Among given kilometers, 96 get divided by only by 12 exactly (remaining numbers results in decimal)
Thus we conclude that, Gautham has covered 96 kilometers in 12 days at an average of 8 kilometers per day [96/12 = 8]
The average of Vibin is twice the average of Gautham.
Given, Vibin (Average) = 2 Gautham (Average)
Now, Vibin (Average) = 2 × 8 = 16 & we know Vibin has taken 7 days for bike drive.
Then, Total Kilometers covered by Vibin = 16 × 7 = 112 Km
Thus, Vibin has covered 112 kilometers in 7 days at an average of 16 kilometers per day [112/7 = 16]
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
Given, Kathir (Average) > Priyan (Average)
Remaining kilometers are 210, 225 and 300.
Among given kilometers, 225 get divided by only by 9 exactly (remaining numbers results in decimal).
Thus we conclude that, Priyan has covered 225 kilometers in 9 days at an average of 25 kilometers per day [225/9 = 25].
Now we can easily say that, Kathir has covered 300 kilometers in 10 days at an average of 30 kilometers per day [300/10 = 30] i.e. Kathir (Average = 30) > Priyan (Average = 25).
Finally, Vishal has covered 210 kilometers in 15 days at an average of 14 kilometers per day [210/15 = 14].
Thus we get the completed table as shown below,
 

The following common explanation, we get "25".
Hence, option A is correct.

Now, Vibin (Average) = 2 × 8 = 16 & we know Vibin has taken 7 days for bike drive.
Then, Total Kilometers covered by Vibin = 16 × 7 = 112 Km
Thus, Vibin has covered 112 kilometers in 7 days at an average of 16 kilometers per day [112/7 = 16]
Kathir went for drive for more number of days than Priyan and has more average than Priyan.
Given, Kathir (Average) > Priyan (Average)
Remaining kilometers are 210, 225 and 300.

Thus we conclude that, Priyan has covered 225 kilometers in 9 days at an average of 25 kilometers per day [225/9 = 25].
Now we can easily say that, Kathir has covered 300 kilometers in 10 days at an average of 30 kilometers per day [300/10 = 30] i.e. Kathir (Average = 30) > Priyan (Average = 25).
Finally, Vishal has covered 210 kilometers in 15 days at an average of 14 kilometers per day [210/15 = 14].
Thus we get the completed table as shown below,

From the two statements given in I, the code for the only common word 'beautiful' can be determined.
From the two statements given in II, the code for the only common word 'red' can be determined.
In I and II, the common words are 'rose and 'flower' and the common code words are 'de' and 'la'. So, the code for 'flower' is either 'de' or 'la'.

I. In 'right or wrong' and 'he is right', the common word is 'right' and the common code word is 'nik'. So 'nik' means 'right'. In 'right or wrong' and 'that is wrong', the common word is 'wrong' and the common code word is 'te'. So, 'te' means 'wrong'.
Thus, in 'right or wrong', 'sa' is the code for 'or'. II. In 'that right man' and 'this or that', the common word is 'that' and the common code word is 'pa'. So, 'pa' means 'that'. In 'this or that' and 'tell this there', the common word is 'this' and the common code word is 'ne'. So, 'ne' means 'this'. Thus, in 'this or that', 'sa' is the code for 'or'.

From I, we conclude that Kapil was born on any one of the dates among 16th, 17th and 18th.
From II, we conclude that Kapil was born on any one of the dates among 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th.
Thus, from both I and II, we conclude that Kapil was born on 16th August.

We can clearly observe from the figure that Virat is going towards the East direction for billing.

We can clearly observe from the figure that the shoretst distance between Orange stall and Billing counter is 3m + 8m = 11m.

The statement asserts that people cannot stand any particular trend for long and seek change quite often. So, only II follows.

The age of 3^rd son = 1/3 × 60 = 20 yrs
Age of 1^st son = 20 + 8 = 28 yrs
Age of 2^nd son = 28 - 4 = 24 years
Ratio of their ages = 28 : 24 : 20 = 7 : 6 : 5
As per question, 7x + 6x + 5x = 12,00,000, i.e., 18x = 12,00,000
So, x = 66,666.66
Share of 2nd son = 6x = 6 × 66,666.66 = Rs. 4,00,000

Calculation:

Production of raw wool in 2014-15 = 51

Production of raw wool in 2019-20 = 68

Required production of raw wool = (51/68)

⇒ 3/4

∴ Required production of raw wool is 3/4

Since we require that there is exactly one 3, this digit could occupy any of the five places. If the number does not start with 3, the first digit must necessarily be a digit other than 3 and 0. In such a case, the first digit can be chosen in eight ways and the remaining digits can be chosen in 9 ways each. The numbers will be of the following forms: 3XXXX, X3XXX, XX3XX, XXX3X and XXXX3. Correspondingly, the total number of ways is (9⁴) + (4 × 8 × 9³) = 29889.

When two or more than two subjects are joined by 'Either, or' 'Neither, nor', the verb agrees with the subject nearest to it.

Boil the ocean: To “boil the ocean” means to waste time on a task or project that is unnecessary and not worth doing.

Ex: You’re wasting my time. You might as well be boiling the ocean.

The closest option matching the correct meaning is waste time.

Hence, option C is correct.

"those who owned anything probably would have given it up gladly in order to save themselves" controls the first blank—hence property, or territory may fit the blank. "Atheists" eliminates option 3. If the Nazis did not exterminate them for what they own—the writer rules out this reason because most Jews probably had nothing, hence poor fits the next blank.

 The context is 'computation of effective rainfall'. The sequence is 2-5-3-1. Effective rainfall (varies) (2) - water supply cannot be planned (5) - nor can it be based on... (3) - therefore ... is computed on a probability basis (1). Sentence 4 does not fit into the theme as it is about factors affecting irrigation efficiency and not about computation of effective rainfall.
