Correct Answer: 4, 2, 1, 5, 3
Solution :
Given:
1. Delta 2. Delicious 3. Depend 4. Daffodil 5. Demography
Step 1:
Compare the first and second letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
D
, and are followed by
e
then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The third letter of each word is either
f
,
l
,
m
, or
p
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Da
f
fodil, De
l
ta, De
l
icious, De
m
ography, De
p
end.
Step 3:
Compare the fourth letter of (Del
t
a, Del
i
cious). Del
i
cious will come before Del
t
a in the sequence as
i
comes before
t
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Daffodil, Delicious, Delta, Demography, Depend, or 4, 2, 1, 5, 3. Hence, the third option is correct.
