Correct Answer: 2, 1, 3, 4
Solution :
Given:
1. Incompatible 2. Incomparable 3. Incongruous 4. Inconsistent
Step 1:
Compare the first, second, third, and fourth letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
I
and have the same letters
n
,
c
, and
o
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The fifth letter of each word is either
n
or
m
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Inco
m
patible, Inco
m
parable, Inco
n
gruous, Inco
n
sistent.
Step 3:
Compare the eighth letter of (Incompa
t
ible, Incompa
r
able) and the sixth letter of (Incon
g
ruous, Incon
s
istent). Incomparable will come before Incompatible in the sequence as
r
comes before
t
in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Incongruous will come before Inconsistent as
g
comes before
s
.
So, the sequence is Incomparable, Incompatible, Incongruous, Inconsistent, or 2,1, 3, 4. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
