6&17.  Since it is impossible for the responses to both be all correct and incorrect, you cannot select E, which eliminates C as well.  If 6 is A, then 17 is C, so 6 is not A.  If 6 is B, 17 is B, which states that 6 is D, a contradiction.  By elimination 6 is D, and 17 is B.

Q 6 & 17 can not be deduced easily.  A, C, and E can be eliminated.  The tough choices are between B or D.  It is possible that 6 is B, which means 17 is D or 6 is D and 17 is B.
