Correct Answer: 3, 1, 4, 2

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.
