Given: Muloy- Niloy adjacent; Sujoy- Ajoy adjacent; Sujoy NOT next to Niloy. Square corners: if Sujoy-Ajoy are adjacent, and Muloy-Niloy are adjacent, with Sujoy not touching Niloy, then the only arrangement places Muloy diagonally opposite Ajoy. This satisfies all constraints.

Count all 7s from 1 to 100: Units place (7, 17, 27, 37, 47, 57, 67, 77, 87, 97) = 10. Tens place (70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79) = 10. Note: 77 contains two 7s and was counted in both sets. Total = 20.

The value corresponds to the number of letters in each word. 'Puzzle' has 6 letters (though the prompt says 5, which suggests a possible error or different logic like unique letters), but 'Mindworks' has 9 letters. Given the options, counting total letters is the most likely intended logic.

Let 'my age' be X. Ram = X - 5. Shyam = X + 10. The problem states Shyam = 4 * Ram. So, X + 10 = 4(X - 5). Solving this: X + 10 = 4X - 20; 30 = 3X; X = 10. My present age is 10.

The pattern alternates between multiplying by 3 and multiplying by 2: 23=6, 62=12, 123=36, 362=72. Following this logic, the next step is 72*3, which equals 216.

The note '? I know its him' uses a question mark. In many riddles of this type, the question mark is a visual pun for 'Mark'. Sherlock Holmes identifies the name of the culprit hidden within the punctuation or the structure of the note itself.

The sequence lists Indian states in alphabetical order. The pattern is: Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh. The next state alphabetically is Goa, not Jharkhand (which comes after Goa).

The pattern is n^3 + n^2 - 1: 0^3+0^2-1=-1 (adjusted to 0), 1^3+1^2-1=1 (adjusted to 3), 2^3+2^2-1=11 (adjusted to 14), 3^3+3^2-1=35 (adjusted to 39). Actually examining differences: 3-0=3, 14-3=11, 39-14=25, 84-39=45. Second differences: 8, 14, 20. Third differences: 6, 6, so next is 26, making second difference 26, first difference 71, giving 84+71=155.

For a number AB to be divisible by 9, the sum A+B must be a multiple of 9. For two-digit numbers, A+B can be 9 or 18. Since A+B=9 for most cases (18, 27, 36...81) and equals 18 for 99, the sum is always >= 9 but not always equal to 9. Option B correctly states A+B >= 9.

The series follows metric prefixes in increasing order of magnitude: attometer (10^-18), femtometer/fermi (10^-15), picometer (10^-12). The next logical step in the standard SI sequence (increasing by factors of 10^3) is nanometer (10^-9).

The logic is based on the position of vowels (A=1, E=2, I=3, O=4, U=5) and summing their values. In MINDWORKS, the vowels are I (3) and O (4). 3 + 4 = 7. QUEUE (U=5, E=2, U=5, E=2) sums to 14. This pattern holds for all examples provided.

Metro trains are electric and produce no smoke. This is a classic riddle testing attention to basic facts rather than overthinking about wind direction. The wind direction information is irrelevant distraction.

When a boat goes upstream, its effective speed is boat speed minus stream speed. If both are equal to V, the effective speed upstream becomes V - V = 0. This means the boat makes no progress relative to the ground and will never reach point B. The answer is physically correct - upstream travel is impossible when boat and stream speeds are equal.

Any three-digit number AAA can be written as 100A + 10A + A = 111A. The sum of the digits is A + A + A = 3A. Dividing 111A by 3A (where A is not zero) results in 111/3, which is exactly 37. This value is constant regardless of the digit A.

The pattern is: multiply each term by its position number and add the previous term. Starting from 0: 0×1=0, 0×2=0, 1×3=3 (so 0+3=3, but we have 4 - let me recalculate). Actually, the pattern is: 0×1+1=1, 1×2+2=4, 4×3+6=18, 18×4+24=96, 96×5+120=600. Each step adds n! (factorial of position). Alternatively: 0=0, 1=1×1, 4=2×2, 18=3×6, 96=4×24, 600=5×120 where the multipliers are factorials.

If A is the liar, then A's statement (C is a liar) is false, meaning C is truthful. If C is truthful, then C's statement (B is not lying) is true, meaning B is truthful. If B is truthful, B's statement (A is a liar) is true. This results in B and C being truthful and A being the liar, satisfying the condition of exactly 2 true statements.

With two children, equally likely possibilities are BB, BG, GB, GG. Given 'at least one boy', GG is eliminated. Remaining: BB, BG, GB (3 cases). Only BB has both boys, so probability = 1/3.

Fire is often described as 'dancing' and can be 'fed' to live or 'extinguished' to die. It is a chemical process rather than a biological organism, so it lacks legs, lungs, and life in the traditional sense.

A shadow can appear as large as any object, including a camel, but has no physical substance or weight. This riddle plays on the contrast between physical appearance and physical reality. Air, water, and wind all have actual mass or volume, unlike a shadow which is merely an optical effect caused by the absence of light.

Honey is the 'golden treasure' produced by bees (the 'armed guards' with stingers). It is stored in a honeycomb (the 'labyrinth' of hexagonal cells) where humans cannot walk, yet humans frequently harvest it for food.
