In each of the questions below, five sentences, labeled A, B, C, D and E, are given. They need to be arranged in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph/passage. From the given options, choose the most appropriate option. (A) There are a bunch of technologies that fall under 3G, including WCDMA, EV-DO, and HSPA among others. (B) Although a lot of mobile phone companies are quick to dub their technologies as 4G, such as LTE, WiMax, and UMB, none of these are actually compliant to the specifications set forth by the 4G standard. (C) 4G is a set of standards that is being developed as a future successor of 3G in the very near future.

In each of the questions below, five sentences, labeled A, B, C, D an...
Sentence D is the introductory part of the passage which tells us what 3G actually is, after which the rest of the sentences provide further information about it. thus, it must form the first sentence of the passage. Hence, Option 2 is eliminated. Sentence E tells us about the existence of technologies in both 3G and 4G. Sentence A, building up on Sentence E, then proceeds to tell us about the respective technologies present in 3G. Thus we cannot have an arrangement where Sentence A comes before Sentence E. Thus, Options 3 and 4 are eliminated. It is now established that the order of the first three sentences of the passage will be DCE. We note that in this arrangement 3G has been mentioned first, and 4G mentioned after it to maintain a chronological order. Following this system of parallelism, the order for the successive sentences must be the same as well. Thus, Sentence B, which tells us about the technologies present in 4G, must come after Sentence A, which tells us about the technologies present in 3G. Thus, Option 5 is the right answer.

Explanation:

Understanding the context:
- The passage discusses the differences between 3G and 4G technologies, emphasizing the compliance with the standards set for each.

Logical order of sentences:
- Sentence D introduces the current status of 3G technology, highlighting its superiority in mobile phone connections and Internet usage.
- Sentence C provides information about the development of 4G as a successor to 3G in the near future.
- Sentence A explains the various technologies falling under 3G, such as WCDMA, EV-DO, and HSPA.
- Sentence B mentions that many mobile phone companies claim their technologies as 4G, like LTE and WiMax, but they do not meet the actual 4G standard.
- Sentence E concludes the passage by highlighting the key difference between 3G and 4G, which lies in the existence of compliant technologies.

Arranging the sentences:
- Putting the sentences in the logical order, we get: DCEAB.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'E'.

Each question given below has five statements. The statements need to be arranged in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph. Choose the most appropriate option.1. But we can free ourselves from both of these limitations without altering the nature of our specification of position.2. On the basis of this illustration, we are able to see the manner in which a refinement of the conception of position has been developed.3. If, for instance, a cloud is hovering over Times Square, then we can determine its position relative to the surface of the earth by erecting a pole perpendicularly on the Square, so that it reaches the cloud4. This primitive method of place specification deals only with places on the surface of rigid bodies, and is dependent on the existence of points on this surface which are distinguishable from each other.5. The length of the pole measured with the standard measuring-rod, combined with the specification of the position of the foot of the pole, supplies us with a complete place specification.

Read the following discussion/passage and provide an appropriate answer for the questions that follow.Of the several features of the Toyota Production System that have been widely studied, most important is the mode of governance of the shop-floor at Toyota. Work and inter-relations between workers are highly scripted in extremely detailed 'operating procedures' that have to be followed rigidly, without any deviation at Toyota. Despite such rule-bound rigidity, however, Toyota does not become a 'command-control system'. It is able to retain the character of a learning organization.In fact, many observers characterize it as a community of scientists carrying out several small experiments simultaneously. The design of the operating procedure is the key. Every principal must find an expression in the operating procedure - that is how it has an effect in the domain of action. Workers on the shop-floor, often in teams, design the 'operating procedure' jointly with the supervisor through a series of hypothesis that are proposed and validated or refuted through experiments in action. The rigid and detailed 'operating procedure' specification throws up problems of the very minute kind; while its resolution leads to a reframing of the procedure and specifications. This inter-temporal change (or flexibility) of the specification (or operating procedur e) is done at the lowest level of the organization; i.e. closest to the site of action.One implication of this arrangement is that system design can no longer be rationally optimal and standardized across the organization. It is quite common to find different work norms in contiguous assembly lines, because each might have faced a different set of problems and devised different counter-measures to tackle it. Design of the coordinating process that essentially imposes the discipline that is required in large-scale complex manufacturing systems is therefore customized to variations in man-machine context of the site of action. It evolves through numerous points of negotiation throughout the organization. It implies then that the higher levels of the hierarchy do not exercise the power of the fiat in setting work rules, for such work rules are no longer a standard set across the whole organization.It might be interesting to go through the basic Toyota philosophy that underlines its system designing practices. The notion of the ideal production system in Toyota embraces the following- 'the ability to deliver just-in-time (or on deman d) a customer order in the exact specification demanded, in a batch size of one (and hence an infinite proliferation of variants, models and specifications), defect-free, without wastage of material, labour, energy or motion in a safe and (physically and emotionally) fulfilling production environment'. It did not embrace the concept of a standardized product that can be cheap by giving up variations. Preserving consumption variety was seen, in fact, as one mode of serving society. It is interesting to note that the articulation of the Toyota philosophy was made around roughly the same time that the Fordist system was establishing itself in the US automotive industry.Q. Based on the above passage, which of the following statements is best justified?
