Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the given jumbled sentence problem, we must determine the most logical and coherent sequence for the parts of the sentence. Let's analyze each segment:

1. S: Managers must lead by example; they should not be averse to giving a hand in manual work, if required.
2. P: They should also update their competence to guide their subordinates.
3. R: This would be possible only if they keep in regular touch with.
4. Q: New processes, machines, instruments, gauges, systems and gadgets.

Let's determine the proper sequence by linking the sentences logically:

• Part S acts as the introductory statement, emphasizing the need for managers to set an example. It's a logical starting point because it introduces the subject.
• Part P logically follows, as it discusses updating competence, which is a natural consequence of leading by example.
• Part R provides a condition for 'updating their competence,' which makes sense after part P. It makes a direct connection by stating a prerequisite for what's mentioned in P.
• Part Q completes the thought in R by listing specific things with which managers need to stay in touch to update their competence.

By understanding the context and logical flow of ideas, the most coherent and meaningful sequence for the sentence is SPRQ.

Thus, the correct sequence is: SPRQ.
