Statement:

K = M > Q ≥ R = T ≤ U < V ≤ Y

Conclusions:

I. K ≥ R: False (K = M > Q ≥ R; K > R)

II. T < Y: True (T ≤ U < V ≤ Y; T < Y)

Hence, the correct answer is Only Conclusion II follows.

Statement:

L < P < S ≤ W = X > Z > N

Conclusions:

Given: Seven people, viz., M, R, T, X, L, P, and Q, are seated around a circular table, but not necessarily in the same order.

Some of them face inside, while the remaining face outside.

1. Q sits between T and X.
2. M sits second to the right of X.

Here, we have 2 Cases, i.e., Case 1 and Case 2. 3. R sits second to the left of M. 4. P sits immediately right of R. 5. R faces inside. 

Now, we can eliminate Case 1. 6. M and P face the same direction. 7. T sits third to the right of L. 8. T and L face opposite directions, while T and Q face the same direction. 

This is our final arrangement,

Hence, the correct answer is M.

The possible Venn diagram is,

Conclusions:

I. Some rivers are ponds.: Follows (As only a few rivers are lakes and all lakes are ponds, so some rivers are ponds is true.)

II. Some rivers are not seas.: Follows (As only a few rivers are lakes, all lakes are ponds, and no pond is a sea, so some rivers are not seas is true.)

III. No lake is a sea.: Follows (As all lakes are ponds, and no pond is a sea, so no lake is a sea is true.)

Hence, the correct answer is All conclusions I, II, and III follow.

The possible Venn diagram is,

Conclusions:

I. Some apples are fruits.: Follows (As all apples are fruits, so some apples are fruits is true.)

II. Some fruits are not boxes.: Follows (As the part of the fruit that is a basket is not a part of the box.)

III. No apple is a box.: Doesn't follow (As there is no direct relation is given between the elements.)

Given number: 582739146

 

Hence, the correct answer is Three.

Given: Rohan started walking from point A in the north direction.

1. After walking 8 m, he reached point B and turned right to cover a distance of 6 m to reach point C.
2. He then turned left from point C and walked 9 m to reach point D.
3. After that, he again turned left and walked 7 m to reach point E.
4. From point E, he took a right turn and reached the Library, which is 5 m away from point E.

The possible diagram is,

Distance = 8 + 6 + 9 + 7 = 30 m

Hence, the correct answer is 30 m.

Given: Rohan started walking from point A in the north direction.

1. After walking 8 m, he reached point B and turned right to cover a distance of 6 m to reach point C.
2. He then turned left from point C and walked 9 m to reach point D.
3. After that, he again turned left and walked 7 m to reach point E.
4. From point E, he took a right turn and reached the Library, which is 5 m away from point E.

The possible diagram is,

Hence, the correct answer is North-West.

Given: Rohan started walking from point A in the north direction.

1. After walking 8 m, he reached point B and turned right to cover a distance of 6 m to reach point C.
2. He then turned left from point C and walked 9 m to reach point D.
3. After that, he again turned left and walked 7 m to reach point E.
4. From point E, he took a right turn and reached the Library, which is 5 m away from point E.

The possible diagram is,

Shortest Distance = √(9)² + (7)² = √(81 + 49) = √130 m

Hence, the correct answer is √130 m.
