Hi Forum,

@satorno and yes. till now i had believed instinctively that software industry is a services industry but when i searched a little after your query i learned that Software is classified as service if it is tailor made specifically for a client and it's considered a good if a company is making a generic product that anyone can purchase and selling it through cd, dvd or other medium.

@Apollo11potable water logic?


2k views

@D503 Would like to know that logic too. So, I did read about ana and cata but I always end up confusing myself on which one is which (finally this helped remember : https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-the-farakka-lock-and-hilsa-why-there-is-both-hope-and-apprehension-7185620/ )

A good funda to crack is that since ana and cata are terms heard in the news in relation to fishes migration, logically pota should be matched against the third or the last entry on the right, ie, spawning and growth within fresh water. That eliminates 2 and hence, you can arrive at option A.

@Apollo11first thing that came to mind was catabatic and anabatic winds 
i thought both winds are flowing up and down the slopes so maybe these fishes  might as well be moving between waters XD

d. Sutlej  

Narmada and Tapi flow below Bhopal. So, either of C or D. I will go with C considering Chambal is Yamuna's tributary

Lol. Kind of question where even open book/google is of no help. 
I will still mark A coz ana and cata have to be opposites at the end of the day ie 3 has to be opposite of 1.
