Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4, 1
Solution :
Given:
1. Application 2. Apoapses 3. Apophis 4. Appeared
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
A
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second letter of each word is the same, i.e.,
p
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 3:
The third letter of each word is either
p
or
o
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Ap
o
apses, Ap
o
phis, Ap
p
lication, Ap
p
eared
Step 4:
Compare the fourth letter of (Apo
a
pses, Apo
p
his) and (App
l
ication, App
e
ared). Apoapses will come before Apophis as
a
comes before
p
in alphabetical order. Similarly, Appeared will come before Application as
e
comes before
l
in alphabetical order.
So, the sequence is Apoapses, Apophis, Appeared, Application, or 2, 3, 4, 1. Hence, the second option is correct.
