Solution:

To make things easier, let us just denote each box with the help of R number and C number i.e. the row number and the column number.

The rule that has been used here is:
R4C1 = (R1C1 * R3C1) - R2C1 = (5 * 2) - 8 = 2
R4C2 = (R1C2 * R3C2) - R2C2 = (7 * 4) - 10 = 18
R4C3 = (R1C3 * R3C3) - R2C3 = (6 * 5) - 12 = 18

Using the same rule for the last box:
R4C4 = (R1C4 * R3C4) - R2C4 = (4 * 9) - 17 = 19

Thus 19 is the missing number.

Solution:

The stranger said that he thought the room was his. If so, he must have had the keys to the room and thus he must not have knocked.

Solution:

If we have to measure precisely, it is impossible. Because we are asked to measure odd number of liters whereas all the jars we have can contain only even liters of water.

Solution:

== Mathematical Answer ==
Mathematical Answer = number of seconds in a minute * number of minute in an hour * number hour in a day * number of day in year
60 * 60 * 24 * 365 = 31536000
60 * 60 * 24 * 365.25 = 31557600 (if you want account for leap year)


== We are looking for trick answer (which is 24) ==
Every month contains only 2 second like
A) 2nd January ("second" January)
B) 22nd January (twenty"second" January)

Therefore 2 * 12 months = 24.

Solution:

It is not possible to guess only three fruits correctly: the fourth fruit is then correct too! So nobody has guessed three fruits correctly and 123-43-39-31 = 10 people have guessed four fruits correctly.

Solution:

Ms. Britney did it.

We will take up every person and analyze the statements over all of them one by one.

Case 1: Ms. Britney did it, then
Statement 1 => true
Statement 2 => false (as Rihanna did not do it)
Statement 3 => false (as Ms. Britney is lying)
Statement 4 => false (as Ms. Gwyneth is lying)
Our first guess itself was right but let us confirm our analysis by analyzing the statements over others.

Case 2: Ms. Rihanna did it, then
Statement 1 => false (as Ms. Britney did not do it)
Statement 2 => true
Statement 3 => true (as Ms. Britney is not lying)
As per the conditions, three statements had to be wrong but here, we have two statements right which clearly contradict the condition.

Case 3: Ms. Gwyneth did it, then
Statement 1 => false (as Ms. Britney did not do it)
Statement 2 => false (as Ms. Rihanna did not do it)
Statement 3 => false (as Ms. Britney is lying)
Statement 4 => false (as Ms. Gwyneth is lying)
She did not do it as all the statements are false.

Case 4: Ms. Yoon did it, then
Statement 1 => false (as Ms. Britney did not do it)
Statement 2 => false (as Ms. Rihanna did not do it)
Statement 3 => false (as Ms. Britney is lying)
Statement 4 => false (as Ms. Gwyneth is lying)
All four statements are false in her case as well thus she did not do it.

Therefore we have proved that Ms. Britney did it.

Solution:

one fish, one cat and one dog.

Explanation:
The question might appear a bit difficult in the starting but if you analyze the statements, you will realize that it is just a tricky one.

All except two were fishes and all except two were cats. With these statements we can assume that two of the animals were not fishes and two were not cats. Now one of those animals that are not fishes can be a cat and one of those two animals that are not cats can be a fish. Just carry out the same analysis for the statement that all except two animals were not dogs and you will come across the result i.e.:
In that competition, there was one fish, one cat and one dog.
