Correct Answer: 2, 3, 1, 4
Solution :
Given:
1. Centre 2. Center 3. Central 4. Centrum
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
C
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second, third, and fourth letters of each word are the same, i.e.,
e
,
n
, and
t
. So, move on to the next letter.
Step 3:
The fifth letter of each word is either
r
or
e
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Cent
e
r, Cent
r
e, Cent
r
al, Cent
r
um
Step 4:
Compare the sixth letter of (Centr
e
, Centr
a
l, Centr
u
m). Central will come before Centre and Centrum in the sequence as
a
comes before
e
, and
u
in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Centre will come before Centrum as
e
comes before
u
.
So, the sequence is Center, Central, Centre, Centrum, or 2, 3, 1, 4. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
