Answer 1

Best way to start with is to do

bower cache clean

After that when you do

bower install it will ask you

Unable to find a suitable version for jquery, please choose one:
1) jquery#exampleversion1 which resolved to 1.5.3 and is required by demo1
2) jquery#^exampleversion2 which resolved to 1.5.3 and is required by app2    
3) jquery#>.examplegversion3 which resolved to 1.5.3 and is required by app3Test

then you can enter !1 or !2 , or whatever suits your needs the best.

Prefixing number with ! essentially adds the resolution block into bower.json but it will give you more control over what's happening and it might solve your problem.
