• Hence, according to the passage, the Northern Indian plains are rich in alluvial deposits.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

Decoding the information, 

Given:

8900 α 100 ⊕ 5 θ 4 ⊕ 121 α 11 = ?

After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,

= 8900 ÷ 100 - 5 × 4 - 121 ÷ 11

= 89 - 5 × 4 - 11

= 89 - 20 - 11

= 89 - 31

= 58

Hence, “58” is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

By following the correct pattern, we can check:

Starting with 582:

582 + 23 = 605

605 - 17 = 588

588 + 23 = 611

611 - 17 = 594 (Not 634)

Therefore, the number 634 is incorrect. The correct value should be:

611 - 17 = 594

Hence, the correct answer is "634".

Given date: 17 June 1998.

Now,

Till 1600 → 0 odd days

Till 1900 (300 years) → 1 odd day

From 1900 to 1997 (97 years)

Number of leap years between 1900 and 1997

= (1997 - 1900) / 4

= 97 / 4 = 24 (only consider the whole number part)

Number of ordinary years

= 97 - 24 = 73

Therefore, total odd days in 97 years

= (24 * 2) + (73 * 1)

= 48 + 73 = 121

In 97 Years, the odd day count is 121.

So far, odd days until 1997 = 0 (for 1600 years) + 1 (for 300 years) + 121 = 122.

122 modulo 7 = 3 odd days (since 122 / 7 gives a remainder of 3).

From 1^st January 1998 to 17^th June 1998:

31 (Jan) + 28 (Feb) + 31 (Mar) + 30 (Apr) + 31 (May) + 17 (Jun) = 168 days.

Total odd days in 168 days = 168 / 7 = 24 weeks and 0 odd days.

Total odd days = 3 (odd days up to 1997) + 0 = 3 odd days.

⇒ 3 represents Wednesday.

So, 17 June 1998 is a Wednesday.

Hence, the correct answer is “Wednesday”.

Family Chart:

Given

Check all options:

1. Q - N + M × P

Hence, P is the nephew/niece of N.

2. Q - N + M × P

Hence, P is the nephew/niece of Q.

3. P + S × N - Q

Hence, P is the mother of Q.

4. P - M + N × Q

Therefore, P is the maternal uncle of Q.

Hence, "Option (4)" is the correct answer.

The possible Venn diagram is as follows,

Conclusions:

I. All guns are boats → False (because no direct relationship given between guns and boats so it may be possible but not defined)

II. Some boats are not guns → False (because no direct relationship given between boats and guns so it may be possible but not defined)

Hence, the correct answer is "If neither I nor II follows".
