Solution :
G
iven:
1. Management 2. Manufacture 3. Maintain 4. Manner
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
M
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second letter of each word is the same, i.e.,
a
. So, move on to the next letter.
Step 3:
The third letter of each word is either
n
or
i
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Ma
i
ntain, Ma
n
agement, Ma
n
ufacture, Ma
n
ner
Step 4:
Compare the fourth letter of (Man
a
gement, Man
u
facture, Man
n
er). Management will come before Manufacture and Manner as
a
comes before
u
and
n
in alphabetical order. Similarly, Manner will come before Manufacture as
n
comes before
u
in alphabetical order.
So, the sequence is Maintain, Management, Manner, Manufacture, or 3, 1, 4, 2. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
