    Question

    In the following questions two columns are given

    containing three Sentences/phrases each. In first column, sentences/phrases are A, B and C and in the second column the sentences/phrases are D, E and F. A sentence/phrase from the first column may or may not connect with another sentence/phrase from the second column to make a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. Each question has five options, four of which display the sequence(s) in which the sentences/phrases can be joined to form a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. If none of the options given forms a correct sentence after combination, mark option (E), i.e. “None of these” as your answer
    A Only B-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both A-E and C-F Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only A--E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both A-E and B-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Solution Checking A-E: "Design thinking requires sticking one’s neck out to understand what a customer might want, and while doing so, making sure there is no over specification, resulting in waste." This combination is grammatically correct and contextually appropriate, as it describes the process of design thinking. Checking B-D: "The trickle-down theory to reduce inequality and provide employment doesn’t seem to have delivered to the desired extent." This combination is also correct, as it logically and contextually connects the concept of the trickle-down theory with its outcomes related to employment. Checking C-F: When combined, C-F would read: "A product-based economy can drive sustainable economic growth, create jobs, and reduce services while create a culture of R&D." This combination is problematic because it doesn't logically follow that a product-based economy would "reduce services." Additionally, the phrase "while create a culture of R&D" is not grammatically correct and should be "while creating a culture of R&D." Hence, option D is the correct answer.
