From the first three conditions, two solns are possible

S _ _ Q _ _

_ E _ _ _ _

or

_ _ S _ _ Q

_ _ _ E _ _

As B and F have two people between them and neither are at the extremes, they must by in the second and fifth place. Hence, we can rule out configuration 1.

From the 6th condition, B should be fifth from left and F second.

Thus, we get

P _ S _ _ Q

_ F _ E B _

As C is second to the left of A, C must be first from left and A third. Hence, D is last from left. Thus, we can place all the people as follows

$$\downarrow$$ P V S T R Q

$$\uparrow$$ C F A E B D

F faces V who is second to the right of T.

Hence, option C is correct.

$$\downarrow$$ P V S T R Q

$$\uparrow$$ C F A E B D

In all pairs except E-Q, the first person faces an immediate neighbour of the second person.

Hence, option E is correct.

From statement 1, we get Q> R, S and T>P. Hence, Q> R / S >= S / R > T > P. Hence, Q is the heaviest.

From statement 2, R is second heaviest and Q is heavier than R. Hence, Q is the heaviest.

Hence, the question can be answered using either statement alone.

Data in statement II alone is sufficient to give us the idea that 5 friends are sitting around a circular table.

Data in statement I contains missing information regarding the position of E with respect to A or B. Hence, we cannot say with surety whether the A,B,C,D and E are facing the centre by sitting in circular manner or not.

Hence, option B  is correct.

Data in statement 1 is enough to give us idea about the order of the subjects taken serially on each day of the week.

The table formed is:

Hence, statement 1 is sufficient to help us form this table.

Here, the data in statement 1 is sufficient to answer the question.

Half an hour ago, the hour hand will be between 8 and 9. After half, the hour hand will be at 9 while minute hand will be on 12.

Therefore, option A is correct.

The data in statement 1 gives us the relation that B is grandfather of F.
But even data from both the statements is insufficient to give the gender of F.

F can be grandson or granddaughter of B.

Hence correct option is D.

Data provided to us is:

Input:win 56 32 93 bat for 46 him 28 11 give chance
Step I:93 56 32 bat for 46 him 28 11 give chance win
StepII:11 93 56 32 bat for 46 28 give chance win him
Step III:56 11 93 32 bat for 46 28 chance win him give
Step IV:28 56 11 93 32 bat win him give for chance bat
Step V:46 28 56 11 93 32 bat win him give for chance
Step VI:32 46 28 56 11 93 win him give for chance bat
Step VI is the last step of the arrangement the above input.

By analysing the data we get,
The numbers are shifted in such a manner that alternately highest and lowest number are shifted leftwards.
The words are shifted leftwards such that they are moved in descending order in alphabetical series.

Hence for us input is,
Input:fun 89 at the 28 16 base camp 35 53 here 68
Step I: 16 fun 89 at 28 base camp 35 53 here 68 the 
Step II: 89 16 fun at 28 base camp 35 53 68 the here
Step III: 28 89 16 at base camp 35 53 68 the here from
Step IV: 68 28 89 16 at base 35 53 the here fun camp
Step V: 35 68 28 89 16 at 53 the here fun camp base
Step VI: 53 35 68 28 89 16 the here fun camp base at
Hence, it is evident that none of the options matches step II.
