Number 124 in the tactics suite is slightly broken. Nxf7 is not a checking move.

Komodo is searching the first move you listed right now and does not see anything. I have not looked at the position myself. The best move could be a typo I presume for these first two.
Correction - I pasted in the fen incorrectly. I think the key move for the first position is Rd4 obtaining a draw.

The second position should be Ne3
