2. Bifurcate
3. Bilateral
4. Bilirubin
Option 1: 2, 1, 3, 4
Option 2: 4, 3, 2, 1
Option 3: 2, 3, 4, 1
Option 4: 2, 3, 1, 4
Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4, 1
Solution :
Given:
1. Billian 2. Bifurcate 3. Bilateral 4. Bilirubin
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
B
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second letter of each word is the same, i.e.,
i
. So, move on to the next letter.
Step 3:
The third letter of each word is either
l
or
f
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Bi
f
urcate, Bi
l
lian, Bi
l
ateral, Bi
l
irubin.
Step 4:
Compare the fourth letter of (Bil
l
ian, Bil
a
teral, Bil
i
rubin). Bilateral will come before Billian and Bilirubin in the sequence as
a
comes before
i
and
l
in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Bilirubin will come before Billian as
i
comes before
l
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Bifurcate, Bilateral, Bilirubin, Billian, or 2, 3, 4, 1. Hence, the third option is correct.
