Explanations
1. In any cube/cuboid, each side will always have four adjacent sides and another side opposite to it.
The Yellow side is opposite to the Green side. So, both these sides will be adjacent to all the other four colours i.e. The four sides adjacent to Green are Blue, Orange, Red and Black. The four sides opposite to Yellow will also be Blue, Orange, Red and Black.
Now, consider the Blue side. It is adjacent to Green and Yellow (from above). And it is adjacent to Orange and Red (given in question). So, this means all four adjacent sides to Blue are found and the only side remaining (i.e. the Black side) must be opposite to it.
Two pairs of opposite have been found (Blue-Black and Green-Yellow). This leaves the Orange and Red sides as the third set of opposite sides.
Now, all three statements are true, which means the answer is “None of these”.

2. There are 4 small squares on each side. So, total number of squares = 4*4 + 3*3 + 2*2 + 1*1 = 30. (If there were six smaller squares on each side, the total number of squares would be 6*6 + 5*5 + ….. + 2*2 + 1*1. Whatever is the number, add all squares from 1 to that number’s square).

3. It is given that Rohini’s maternal uncle is same as the girl’s maternal uncle’s maternal uncle. It implies that girl’s maternal uncle and Rohini are siblings. This in turn means Shubha is the daughter of Rohini.

4. The only possible arrangement of all the data is the following, for a total of seven ladies.

5. If Ajay reached at 9:45, then Bhargav reached 13 minutes later at 9:58. Menaka’s arrival time cannot be found out. But since she reached the earliest, and Bhargav reached after Ajay, it can be concluded that Bhargav reaches the last among the three.
