Refer to figure.
FAJS METAR: 200730Z  02008KT  350V070  CAVOK  26/M02  Q1025  NOSIG=

DECODING:

02008KT = surface wind from 020° at 8 kt
350V070 = wind direction variable between 350° and 070°
CAVOK = visibility ≥10 km, no significant cloud, no significant weather

The variation in the observed direction is between 350° and 70° → CORRECT.

The surface wind is 030°/12° → INCORRECT. Wind is 020°/8 kt (not 030°/12°).

The variation in the observed direction is between 320° and 050°→ INCORRECT. The actual values are 350° and 070°.

The wind is calm with clear skies → INCORRECT. Wind is NOT calm (02008KT = 8 kt from 020°).
