Solution :
Given:
1. General 2. Gender 3. Gasket 4. Genial 5. Gather
Step 1:
The first letter of each word is the same, so move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second letter of each word is either
a
or
e
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them: G
a
sket, G
a
ther, G
e
neral, G
e
nder, G
e
nial.
Step 3:
Compare the third letter of (Ga
s
ket, Ga
t
her), and the fourth letter of (Gen
e
ral, Gen
d
er, Gen
i
al). Gasket will come before Gather in the sequence as
s
comes before
t
in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Gender will come before General, and Genial as
d
comes before
e
, and
I
. Also, General will come before Genial as
e
comes before
i
.
So, the sequence is Gasket, Gather, Gender, General, Genial, or 3, 5, 2, 1, 4. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
