Correct Answer: 3, 5, 1, 4, 2
Solution :
Given:
1. Electrolysis 2. Electrotyping 3. Electrician 4. Electroplating 5. Electrification
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
E
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth letters of each word are the same, i.e.,
l
,
e
,
c
,
t
, and
r
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 3:
The seventh letter of each word is either
i
or
o
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Electr
i
cian, Electr
i
fication, Electr
o
lysis, Electr
o
typing, Electr
o
plating.
Step 3:
Compare the eighth letter of (Electri
c
ian, Electri
f
ication), and (Electro
l
ysis, Electro
t
yping, Electro
p
lating). Electrician will come before Electrification as
c
comes before
f
in alphabetical order. Similarly, Electrolysis will come before Electrotyping and Electroplating as
l
comes before
t
and
p
in alphabetical order. Also, Electroplating will come before Electrotyping as
p
comes before
t
in alphabetical order.
So, the sequence is Electrician, Electrification, Electrolysis, Electroplating, Electrotyping, or 3, 5, 1, 4, 2. Hence, the third option is correct.
