Parajumbles Question 8 - CAT 2022
Question
- Various industrial sectors including retail, transit systems, enterprises, educational institutions, event organizing, finance, travel etc. have now started leveraging these beacons solutions to track and communicate with their customers.
- A beacon fixed on to a shop wall enables the retailer to assess the proximity of the customer, and come up with a much targeted or personalized communication like offers, discounts and combos on products in each shelf.
- Smartphones or other mobile devices can capture the beacon signals, and distance can be estimated by measuring received signal strength.
- Beacons are tiny and inexpensive, micro-location-based technology devices that can send radio frequency signals and notify nearby Bluetooth devices of their presence and transmit information.
Step-by-Step Explanation
- Correct Sequence: 4312
- Explanation: Sentence 4 acts as a definitive topic intro, providing a clear dictionary-style breakdown of what beacons are (tiny, inexpensive micro-location devices emitting radio frequencies). Sentence 3 details the mechanical receiver side of that system, explaining how consumer smartphones pick up those frequencies to calculate proximity. Sentence 1 scales this technical capability up into commercial market adoption, listing the various economic sectors (retail, transit, travel) deploying beacon solutions. Sentence 2 closes by spotlighting a localized case study within one of those named sectors, showing exactly how a retailer can use a wall-mounted beacon to customize item offers.
- FundaMakers Tip: Technical Definition to Practical Use Case. Identify the sentence that outlines a tool's core technical properties (Sentence 4). Track how it transmits data (Sentence 3), its commercial target markets (Sentence 1), and end with a practical example of it running live on the ground (Sentence 2).
