2)Ā AnswerĀ (B)
Let us arrange the daughters in the decreasing order of height first.
Kalpana is shorter than Kriti but taller than Kranti.
Therefore, Kriti > Kalpana > Kranti.
Kamlesh is taller than Kriti.
KamleshĀ >Ā Kriti > Kalpana > Kranti.
Kamla is taller than Kamlesh. Kamla is not the tallest. Therefore, Kripa must be the tallest person.
Kripa > Kamla >Ā KamleshĀ >Ā Kriti >Ā Kalpana > Kranti.
Let us arrange the daughters in terms of their qualification.
The shortest person is the most qualified.
Therefore, Kranti must be the most qualified person among the 6 daughters.
Kalpana is more qualified than Kamlesh who is more qualified than Kriti.
Kalpana > Kamlesh > Kriti.
Kamla is less qualified than Kamlesh. Kriti is more qualified than Kamla. Kripa is the least qualified among the daughters.
Kranti > Kalpana > Kamlesh > Kriti > Kamla > Kripa.
Height (in decreasing order):
Kripa > Kamla >Ā KamleshĀ >Ā Kriti >Ā Kalpana > Kranti.
Qualification (in decreasing order):
Kranti > Kalpana > Kamlesh > Kriti > Kamla > Kripa.
Rank of Kamala in the increasing order of height is 5. Therefore, optionĀ B is the right answer.

5)Ā AnswerĀ (A)
The machine is arranging the numbers in the increasing order of the sum of the digits on the number.
Input:Ā 245 (11), 316 (10), 436 (13), 519 (15), 868 (22), 710 (8), 689 (23).
The number in the bracket indicates the sum of digits of the given number.
Step 1:Ā 710 (8), 316 (10), 436 (13), 519 (15), 868 (22), 245 (11), 689 (23).
ā“Ā The machine has swapped 710 (8) with 245 (11).
Step 2:Ā 710 (8), 316 (10), 245 (11), 519 (15), 868 (22), 436 (13), 689 (23).
Thus it has swapped 436 (13) with 245 (11).
Step 3:Ā 710 (8), 316 (10), 245 (11), 436 (13), 868 (22), 519 (15), 689 (23).
Thus it has swapped 436 (13) with 519 (15).
Step 4:Ā 710 (8), 316 (10), 245 (11), 436 (13), 519 (15), 868 (22), 689 (23).
Thus it has swapped 519 (15) with 868 (22).
Going by the logic mentioned above,
Input:Ā 655 (16), 436 (13), 764 (17), 799 (25), 977 (23), 572 (14), 333 (9).
Step 1:Ā 333 (9), 436 (13), 764 (17), 799 (25), 977 (23), 572 (14), 655 (16).
Step 2:Ā 333 (9), 436 (13), 572 (14), 799 (25), 977 (23), 764 (17), 655 (16).
Step 3:Ā 333 (9), 436 (13), 572 (14), 655 (16), 977 (23), 764 (17), 799 (25).
This is the required sequence which is achieved in Step 3.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

Let us draw the family tree for each option:-
A.
Thus, M is the uncle of T and thus, option A is not the right answerB.
Thus, M is the uncle of T and thus, option B is the not the right answer.
C
Thus, there is no direct relation between T and M and thus, option C is not the correct answer.
Hence, none of these is the correct answer.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
