Hence the final arrangement:

Hence, Seven persons are sitting between D and Q.

Statement I:1)  A is sitting second from one end of the row.  B is not sitting adjacent to A. The one who is facing A sits immediately right of P. One person sits between P and R.

2) Q is not sitting adjacent to R. This condition cannot be satisfied in Case 2, So, Case 2 is eliminated.

Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the given question.

Statement II: 1)  Q is sitting at one of the extreme ends. S is sitting second to the right of the one facing B. S is not sitting at any extreme end.

Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the given question.

Statement III: 1) A is sitting second from one of the ends. 

2. C and D are not sitting adjacent to each other. S and P are sitting adjacent to each other. P is not facing A. One person sits between the one who is facing C and R. C is not sitting to the left of D. No further placing can be done with this information.

Statement III is not alone sufficient to answer the question.

By considering both Statements I and III we get:

By considering the combination of Statements I and II, Statements II and III we will not get the answer to the given question.

C is sitting immediately left of the person who is facing Q. Hence, Statements I and III both are sufficient to answer the given question.

Statement I: Two persons were born between B and E. As many persons were born before E was the same as persons born after D. B was born in a month of 30 days. A was born one month before F.

Hence, C is born in March.

Statement II: Two persons were born between B and E. As many persons were born before C was the same as persons born after F. D was immediately born before C. C was born before F. C was born in March.

Hence, C is born in March.

Statement III: F was born after May. Three persons are born between F and D. One person was born between B and D. C was born before F.

Hence, The data given in Either Statement I or Statement II is sufficient to answer the question.

1) M's spouse has a niece who is N. M has a father. M's father has no sibling of his own and M's mother has no sister.  P is the grandmother of M's only son. P is the grandmother of Y. S is not married to B. There is an equal number of males and females. D has no siblings. M's uncle is not D. M has a son. B has a sibling only.

2. The difference between N and N's mother's age is a multiple of 10. The difference between B and B's mother-in-law's age is a multiple of five. The difference between B and B's spouse's age is double the difference between the M and S age. 

The positions of S and R cannot be predicted now. So, we have assumed two cases.

|N's Mother-N| = 10x, |P-B|=5y, |B-M| = 2|M-S|

3. Consider case 1, where S is the uncle of M. So, S must be older than M. Assume the age of S to be 60 years and M age to be 40 years. Then |B-M|= 2(20) = 40 years. Then the age of B would be 0 or 80 years which is not possible. So, Case 1 is eliminated.

According to Case2,|S-N|=10x, |P-B|=5y, |B-M| = 2|M-S|.M's uncle's age was prime but he was not the eldest. As S is the mother of N that is why N is younger than S. 

4. Consider this condition, |B-M| = 2|M-S| try by putting M at every vacant position. Only Case 2 will satisfy the given condition .So, Case 1, Case 3, Case 4, and Case 5 are eliminated.

5) The difference between D and D's son(M) is a prime number less than twenty. 

6) The difference between B and B's mother-in-law's(P) age is a multiple of five. 

The final arrangement is:

B is born immediately after S and is 36 years old. Hence, the one who is born immediately after S age is a perfect Square.

1) M's spouse has a niece who is N. M has a father. M's father has no sibling of his own and M's mother has no sister.  P is the grandmother of M's only son. P is the grandmother of Y. S is not married to B. There is an equal number of males and females. D has no siblings. M's uncle is not D. M has a son. B has a sibling only.

2. The difference between N and N's mother's age is a multiple of 10. The difference between B and B's mother-in-law's age is a multiple of five. The difference between B and B's spouse's age is double the difference between the M and S age. 

The positions of S and R cannot be predicted now. So, we have assumed two cases.

|N's Mother-N| = 10x, |P-B|=5y, |B-M| = 2|M-S|

3. Consider case 1, where S is the uncle of M. So, S must be older than M. Assume the age of S to be 60 years and M age to be 40 years. Then |B-M|= 2(20) = 40 years. Then the age of B would be 0 or 80 years which is not possible. So, Case 1 is eliminated.

According to Case2,|S-N|=10x, |P-B|=5y, |B-M| = 2|M-S|.M's uncle's age was prime but he was not the eldest. As S is the mother of N that is why N is younger than S. 

4. Consider this condition, |B-M| = 2|M-S| try by putting M at every vacant position. Only Case 2 will satisfy the given condition .So, Case 1, Case 3, Case 4, and Case 5 are eliminated.

5) The difference between D and D's son(M) is a prime number less than twenty. 

6) The difference between B and B's mother-in-law's(P) age is a multiple of five. 

The final arrangement is:

Hence, D is born in 1962.

1) M's spouse has a niece who is N. M has a father. M's father has no sibling of his own and M's mother has no sister.  P is the grandmother of M's only son. P is the grandmother of Y. S is not married to B. There is an equal number of males and females. D has no siblings. M's uncle is not D. M has a son. B has a sibling only.

The positions of S and R cannot be predicted now. So, we have assumed two cases.

|N's Mother-N| = 10x, |P-B|=5y, |B-M| = 2|M-S|

3. Consider case 1, where S is the uncle of M. So, S must be older than M. Assume the age of S to be 60 years and M age to be 40 years. Then |B-M|= 2(20) = 40 years. Then the age of B would be 0 or 80 years which is not possible. So, Case 1 is eliminated.

According to Case2,|S-N|=10x, |P-B|=5y, |B-M| = 2|M-S|.M's uncle's age was prime but he was not the eldest. As S is the mother of N that is why N is younger than S. 

4. Consider this condition, |B-M| = 2|M-S| try by putting M at every vacant position. Only Case 2 will satisfy the given condition .So, Case 1, Case 3, Case 4, and Case 5 are eliminated.

5) The difference between D and D's son(M) is a prime number less than twenty. 

6) The difference between B and B's mother-in-law's(P) age is a multiple of five. 

The final arrangement is:

Hence, S is the mother of N.

1) M's spouse has a niece who is N. M has a father. M's father has no sibling of his own and M's mother has no sister.  P is the grandmother of M's only son. P is the grandmother of Y. S is not married to B. There is an equal number of males and females. D has no siblings. M's uncle is not D. M has a son. B has a sibling only.

2. The difference between N and N's mother's age is a multiple of 10. The difference between B and B's mother-in-law's age is a multiple of five. The difference between B and B's spouse's age is double the difference between the M and S age. 

The positions of S and R cannot be predicted now. So, we have assumed two cases.

|N's Mother-N| = 10x, |P-B|=5y, |B-M| = 2|M-S|

3. Consider case 1, where S is the uncle of M. So, S must be older than M. Assume the age of S to be 60 years and M age to be 40 years. Then |B-M|= 2(20) = 40 years. Then the age of B would be 0 or 80 years which is not possible. So, Case 1 is eliminated.

According to Case2,|S-N|=10x, |P-B|=5y, |B-M| = 2|M-S|.M's uncle's age was prime but he was not the eldest. As S is the mother of N that is why N is younger than S. 

4. Consider this condition, |B-M| = 2|M-S| try by putting M at every vacant position. Only Case 2 will satisfy the given condition .So, Case 1, Case 3, Case 4, and Case 5 are eliminated.

5) The difference between D and D's son(M) is a prime number less than twenty. 

6) The difference between B and B's mother-in-law's(P) age is a multiple of five. 

The final arrangement is:

Hence, the sum of the age of M and S is 81 years.

1) O sits second to the right of B. C sits third to the right of O. Three persons sit between C and D.

2) D sits second to the left of A. M is facing away from the center. 

3) P sits immediately right of N. P and A are facing opposite directions to each other. Immediate neighbors of P are facing the same direction. The one who sits second to the left of P is facing away from the center.

Case 2, is eliminated as more than three persons are facing outside.

The final arrangement is: 

A is sitting second to the left of D. Two persons are sitting between B and C when counted from the left of B.

Hence, Only II statement(N and P are immediate neighbors.) is true.

1) Train R and S started from the base station and reached the nearest platform in a gap of 1 hour. R started its journey earlier than S. R reached the destination at 6 AM. Train P stopped its journey at a platform which is two more than Train S. 

2) Train X reached the last platform. The Destinations of U and V are the same. The destination of U and V is not the same as the destination of S and X. 

3) Train Q's destination is the same as the destination of Y. There is only one more train at the platform where Train X reached its destination. 

4) Train T's final destination is not P1 and P4. Train W's destination is not the same as the destination of R, T, and Y.

4) Train T's final destination is not P1 and P4. Train W's destination is not the same as the destination of R, T, and Y. 

5) Train Q's destination is ahead of Train T's destination.

Hence, the final arrangement is:

Hence, Train S reached the platform P1 at 7 AM.

Stack: Stack 1 and Stack 2

Color: Red, Pink, Blue, Cyan, Aqua, Lime, and White.

1. C is kept three boxes above D which is an even prime numbered box. E which is a red color box kept two boxes above C. G is not the topmost box. F which is a White box is kept adjacent to G which is an even-numbered box. E and G are kept in different stacks. 

Only even prime number is 2. So, D will be placed in the Box number 2. In Case 1, Stack 1 has at least seven persons and most could be eight persons. In stack 2, there could be six persons at maximum and five persons at minimum. As we are not sure till now about the exact number of stacks in Case 1 we have taken the maximum possible stacks. In Case 2, we have proceeded in the same manner.

2) K is kept three boxes above J which is kept in the same stack as G. T which is the pink box is kept adjacent to K which is a White box. 

3) P is kept in one box below N but not in the same stack. 

4) H which is a White box is kept adjacent to the blue box. The Blue box is kept two boxes above the Lime box which is kept in the same stack as the T.

6) The Aqua box is kept one box above the cyan box but not in the same stack. The Cyan box and Lime box are not kept in the same stack. 

7) Out of these thirteen boxes, six boxes are of different Colours (Red, Pink, Blue, Cyan, Aqua, and Lime). The remaining boxes are White.

The final arrangement is:

Box D is of Aqua color. Hence, Only II ( Box D is of Lime color.) is false statement.

Stack: Stack 1 and Stack 2

Color: Red, Pink, Blue, Cyan, Aqua, Lime, and White.

1. C is kept three boxes above D which is an even prime numbered box. E which is a red color box kept two boxes above C. G is not the topmost box. F which is a White box is kept adjacent to G which is an even-numbered box. E and G are kept in different stacks. 

Only even prime number is 2. So, D will be placed in the Box number 2. In Case 1, Stack 1 has at least seven persons and most could be eight persons. In stack 2, there could be six persons at maximum and five persons at minimum. As we are not sure till now about the exact number of stacks in Case 1 we have taken the maximum possible stacks. In Case 2, we have proceeded in the same manner.

2) K is kept three boxes above J which is kept in the same stack as G. T which is the pink box is kept adjacent to K which is a White box. 

3) P is kept in one box below N but not in the same stack. 

4) H which is a White box is kept adjacent to the blue box. The Blue box is kept two boxes above the Lime box which is kept in the same stack as the T. 

5) M is kept two boxes above L but not in the same stack. In Case 2, the given condition does not hold which is why Case 2 is eliminated.

6) The Aqua box is kept one box above the cyan box but not in the same stack. The Cyan box and Lime box are not kept in the same stack. 

7) Out of these thirteen boxes, six boxes are of different Colours (Red, Pink, Blue, Cyan, Aqua, and Lime). The remaining boxes are White.

The final arrangement is:

Box H, J, G, and K are White except Box L. Hence, Box L does not belong to the group.

1) Meena is not in groups A and D. Group D has a member with three years of experience. Group A has a member who knows Design.

2) Group B Members' cumulative salary is Rs.1,05,000. Group A has at least one member with four years of experience.

3) The one with B.Sc Chemistry and Harsh do not work in the same group. 

Hence, Only II statement is correct.

1) Meena is not in groups A and D. Group D has a member with three years of experience. Group A has a member who knows Design.

2) Group B Members' cumulative salary is Rs.1,05,000. Group A has at least one member with four years of experience.

3) The one with B.Sc Chemistry and Harsh do not work in the same group.

J and H change their novels. F and G change their novels. D changes his novel with the one who sits immediately left of A. B and E change their place but not the novels.

After the rearrangement:

All the persons except I are the neighbors of Vacant seat. Hence, I does not belong to the group.

1) D sits at table X. J does not sit at table Y. G sits immediately left of J and neither of them like thrillers. D likes romance and sits opposite G. E likes romance and sits at table Y. The one who likes romance does not sit in the middle of table Y. Both the immediate neighbors of E like thrillers. 

2) C sits at table X. Two persons sit between D and the one who likes thrillers.  A sits immediately left of the one who likes thrillers. F sits third to the right of A. 

G and J do not like Thriller novels. So, two persons sit between D and the one who likes thrillers from the left of D.

3) I sit 2nd to the right of a vacant seat. Both the vacant seats are not adjacent to each other. B does not like thrillers and romance. 

As per the given conditions, B likes Horror.

4)  One of the persons who like horror sits the immediate right of the one who likes romance.

5) Three of them like horror novels, three like thriller novels and the remaining like romance novels. That means out of ten people four persons like romance novels. Also, The one who likes romance does not sit in the middle of table Y. So, A likes romance novels. The only possibility is that F likes horror novels as per the recent arrangement.

The final arrangement is:

After the arrangement, these changes are done.

J and H change their novels. F and G change their novels. D changes his novel with the one who sits immediately left of A. B and E change their place but not the novels.

After the rearrangement:

Hence, G, H, and B are the groups of people who have horror novels only.

Statement I: Downloading the e-newspaper and magazines shows the willingness of people to prefer digital newspapers over physical newspapers. This statement strengthens the given passage.

Statement II: If people are not comfortable using the internet then they will not prefer digital newspapers over physical newspapers. So, this statement weakens the given passage.

Statement III: As Newspaper agencies are also showing interest in online e-magazine and e-newspaper it reflects the interest of consumers which is shifting towards digital newspapers.

Statement IV: As printing presses are shutting their business this will lead to an increase in the popularity and need of digital newspapers. So, this statement strengthens the given passage.

Statement V: As digital newspapers contain a lot of features that help consumers then naturally there will be a decrease in the demand for physical newspapers. So, this statement strengthens the given passage.

Hence, Statement II(Even today, a few people prefer physical newspapers because they are not tech-friendly and cannot operate the internet.) weakens the given passage.

Statement I: If the upper management is considering changing the conditions of the contract with Sportec this means they are willing to continue with Sportec with changes in a few conditions. This will not help the company Xpact to get the contract.

Statement II: Loss incurred by company Sportec could be because of any reason (poor management, fraud, high pricing of products). This has nothing to do with the contract of Sportec with the National Football Team. So, this will not help the company Xpact to get the contract.

Statement III: Sportec 's with the neighboring countries is not a point of concern for the National Football Team. It does not affect the interest of the National Football Team. So, this will not lead Xpact to get the contract.

Statement IV: If Xpact is providing many new features to the National Football Team then the team could consider Xpact over Sportec to have new features. This condition is in the favour of the company Xpact.

Statement V: As Xpact and Sportec are providing the same product does not lead to the conclusion that the National Football Team will provide them with the contract. So, this condition will not lead to Xpact having the contract.

Hence, If Statement IV is true this will  allow the team to not renew their contract with the company Sportec and help Xpact to get the contract

Course of Action I: Here the main problem is freshers are not able to perform well in the company. The Company cannot be dependent on candidates with experience from other software companies. Having two years of experience from another company does not mean they will perform well. So, this cannot be the course of action.

Course of Action II: Being strict when recruiting freshers can lead to better employees at work. So, this course of action can improve the company's performance.

Course of Action III: We cannot blame a country employee for the bad performance of the company. So, this cannot be the course of action.

Course of Action IV: Paying less to the freshers can further demotivate them. Also, the goal of the company is to improve the performance of the company which has no relation to the pay of freshers. So, this cannot be the course of action.

Hence, Only II is the course of action to improve the company's performance.
