Official Explanation
Sorting the table by the "Rating" column, we see that there is one builder (Bildrite) with no project among the five highest-rated projects. But all four sections of the city are represented among these five projects, so all four sections would be featured in a program that included those five projects.
The correct answer is No.
Sorting the table by the "Price" column, we see that the two least expensive projects were both done by Bildrite in the SW section, whereas the two most expensive were both done by Pitts in the NE section. So selecting the top two and bottom two projects by price would include exactly two builders and two city sections. Since the whole table includes exactly four builders and four city sections, this selection leaves out exactly half the builders and half the city sections.
The correct answer is Yes.
Sorting the table by the "Size (square ft)" column, we see that exactly one builder (Bildrite) had no project among the top three or bottom three by square footage.
The correct answer is Yes.

for question "f the 5 with the highest ratings are selected, then one builder and one city section will not be featured in the program."
since its mentioned as one builder and one city, and as all city is mentioned but one builder is missing then the answer be "Yes" right
pls brief me, i assume if and is mentioned both the condition must satisfy, Answer is NO even of two condition one is not satisfied...

The answer is no because we are missing a builder and the statement asks if we are missing a builder and a city section.

Your doubt is not clear.
What statement 2 means:
It checks what happens if we choose the top 2 by price and the bottom 2 by price. Only those 4 matter.
What we actually select:
Top 2 prices: Pitts NE and Pitts NE
Bottom 2 prices: Bildrite SW and Bildrite SW
So the selected set contains only Pitts and Bildrite, and only NE and SW.
Why the answer is yes:
The selected 4 exclude Accurate and Dexter, and they exclude NW and SE.
That is exactly half of the builders and half of the city sections.
