1. Since all persons face the centre: right = counter-clockwise (CCW), left = clockwise (CW). Fix O at pos(1). L sits fourth to the right of O (CCW): O(1) → 2 → 3 → 4 → L(5).

2. L sits third to the left of C. This means C sits third to the right of L (CCW): L(5) → 6 → 1 → C(2). So, C is at pos(2).

3. B is an immediate neighbor of C and N. Since O is at pos(1), B must be at pos(3) to be next to C, and N must be at pos(4) so that B is also next to N.

4. The last person M fills the remaining pos(6). This fits the condition: one person (L) sits between M and N from the left of M (CW): M(6) → L(5) → N(4).

To find the number of people between L and B when counted from the left of B (clockwise direction): Starting from B(3) going CW: C(2), O(1), M(6), and then we reach L(5). The people sitting between them are C, O, and M, which is a total of three people.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The logic followed here is the gap between the letters based on their positional values in the English alphabetical series.

Logic: 1^st Letter + 5 = 2^nd Letter and 2^nd Letter + 6 = 3^rd Letter.

Option 1) TYE,

Option 2) MRX,

Option 3) PUA

Option 4) GKP

This letter-cluster follows a +4, +5 pattern and does not belong to the group.

Therefore, the letter-cluster that is different from the others is GKP.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic followed here is based on the English alphabetical series where each letter of the subsequent term is obtained by subtracting 1 from the positional value of the corresponding letter in the previous term.

The next term in the series is HLB.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is to compare the position of each letter in the word COMBINED with its position when the letters are arranged in English alphabetical order.

Original Word:

Arranging letters in English Alphabetical Order:

Comparison of positions:

• Position 1: C → B (Changed)
• Position 2: O → C (Changed)
• Position 3: M → D (Changed)
• Position 4: B → E (Changed)
• Position 5: I → I (Unchanged)
• Position 6: N → M (Changed)
• Position 7: E → N (Changed)
• Position 8: D → O (Changed)

Only the letter I remains in the same position as in the original word.

Therefore, the position of One letter remains unchanged.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is.

The code for a specific word is determined by comparing the given sentences to identify the unique common word and its corresponding common code.

Analysis of the given sentences:

1. 'door closed now' is coded as 'vt xg uk'

2. 'school is closed' is coded as 'cw uk ne'

Therefore, 'closed' is coded as 'uk'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Logic followed here is:

Logic: The difference between consecutive terms in the series increases by 1 at each step, representing a sequence of consecutive natural numbers starting from 8.

Therefore, the missing number that should come in place of the question mark is 94.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The arrangement of seven people A, B, C, P, S, T, and U sitting in a straight line facing North is determined as follows:

1) Only three people are seated to the left of S.

2) Only A is seated to the right of B.

3) Only three people are seated between B and C.

4) P is seated at some place to the left of T, but at some place to the right of U.

Final Arrangement:

Calculation of people between U and T:

U is at the 1^st position and T is at the 5^th position.

The people seated between them are C (2^nd), P (3^rd), and S (4^th).

Total number of people = 3.

Therefore, there are three people seated between U and T.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed in this pattern is based on a consistent shift in the alphabetical positions of the letters.

For 'KSD' related to 'HPA':

For 'FXM' related to 'CUJ':

Applying the same logic to 'LIQ':

Thus, LIQ is related to IFN by the same pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

The logic followed here is

Logic: First letter of the second cluster = First letter of the first cluster + 5; Second letter of the second cluster = Second letter of the first cluster − 3.

Option 1)  QK - VH,

Option 2) AE - FB,

Option 3) WH - BD

This pair does not follow the rule.

Option 4) GQ - LN,

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is WH - BD.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

The logic followed here is based on the positional values of letters in the English alphabetical series.

The series consists of three letter positions in each term. Let's analyze the pattern for each position independently:

Therefore, the term that should come in place of the question mark is FTA.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
