hey guys, whts the answer for the circular tract & farmers caselet..

according to me, this is how the picture was

P1-P4-P2-P5-P3-P1

stages - 4 - 1 - 2/5 - 5/2 - 3

Farmers - F4 - F5 - F3 - F1 - F2

I am pretty sure abt the farmers, but the stages involves some guessing..

Plz correct me if wrong..

you may be wrong because it is mentioned that F4 was given the work of the 4th stage.

The Chodhury wala question.
1.Possible root cause-Rabindra Jumping to conclusion
2.Details of entire episode-Revoke ravindra's order
3.Best summarize-People tend to relax at night
4.Better response-Should have informed Bhiwani.
