Solution :
Given:
1. Drum 2. Drubbing 3. Drunken 4. Drudgery 5. Duster
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
D
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second letter of each word is either
r
or
u
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – D
r
um, D
r
ubbing, D
r
unken, D
r
udgery, D
u
ster.
Step 3:
Compare the fourth letter of (Dru
m
, Dru
b
bing, Dru
n
ken, Dru
d
gery). Drubbing will come before Drum, Drunken, and Drudgery in the sequence as
b
comes before
m
,
n
, and
d
. Drudgery will come before Drum and Drunken in the sequence as
d
comes before
m
and
n
. Similarly, Drum will come before Drunken as
m
comes before
n
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Drubbing, Drudgery, Drum, Drunken, Duster, or 2, 4, 1, 3, 5. Hence, the second option is correct.
