Hello Guys & Girls

Lets have a discussion too on the answers. This would help us to better understand how the parajumble thing works. So for yesterday's PJs!!

In #1, answer is given as (d) but won't (c) be the correct answer. Coz in (c), we see a connection has been established between D and B thru the word 'consciousness'. C anyway follows B. And now that we have touched 'interface with nature' and 'consciousness', we move forward by talking about the 'inner self' and 'interface in nature', as in A. So what say Puys?

In #5, B stmt says - "... that are maintained by them ...". Who/What is 'them' here? Actually if someone can make #5's meaning clear, it would be of great help (coz even after getting to know of the right answers, I am struggling to make head and tail of the jumble ).

A. cross industry solutions can be customized to the industry, and then to the customer that they are installed with

C. once either of these is in place, they literally define the way the business will be operated
D.data relationship must be maintained
6.processes for updating the data need to be rigorously adhered to.

a)ABCD b)DBAC c)ACDB d)BDAC

well i will write wat i thought

firstly it will start with A as it links with it best

so we are now left with 2 options
among them C will follow as it says once either of these(the corss industry and vertical)

so the correct answer is c

p.s: in Pj just play with options it helps a lot

hope it helps to u all

Dear Abhi

Okay, on giving it another thought, I think I get it right. C states - "once either of these is in place ...". By the 'either of these' usage, author points to the two customized solutions. Thats where I made a mistake in understanding earlier.

And also Abhi, its not always easy to play with the options in a PJ as you have mentioned in your post. CAT 2006 will vouch for me. It was simply impossible to narrow down to a particular option in CAT 2006. It was way too tricky.

Anyway Thanks.

Even I too thought that the answer for the 1st PJ was 'c' .But d is the answer that I found in the parajumbles thread.

@Stiletto01....I dont have the reasons for the answers .For those we need to search the parajumbles thread in pagalguy. But I dont think I found answers with reasons in that thread..what I found were the discussions between puys...
