Explanatory Answer
Method of solving this CAT Verbal Ability Question from Para Jumbles question
(c) CABD comes across the most logical sequence as the four sentences follow each other in a sequence. The sentence C talks about the cut off funding for research as given in sentence 1, followed by sentence A which explains that no such funds are cut in humanity, this is followed by B which is an explanation of A and then is followed by D, which is the perfect precursor to sentence number 6.
