Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option C i.e. SPRQ.

  1. The easiest way of solving the Parajumbl is to find a pair.
  2. As statement 1 tells about the situation of party and statement "S" expresses that "Everybody had put-on new colourful clothes." Both will come together.
  3. Hence, S will be the first statement of the arrangement.
  4. Now "R" expresses the more about the cloths it will follow S.

Now we have a pair of SP.  

As in the options we have only chosen option starting with "SP" it will be the correct choice.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
