Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4, 3
Solution :
Given:
1. Claim 2. Clearly 3. Clerk 4. Clerical
Step 1:
Compare the first and second letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
C
, followed by
l
then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The third letter of each word is either
a
or
e
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Cl
a
im, Cl
e
arly, Cl
e
rk, Cl
e
rical.
Step 3:
Compare the fourth letter of (Cle
a
rly, Cle
r
k, Cle
r
ical). Clearly will come before Clerk, Clerical in the sequence as
a
comes before
r
in the alphabetical system.
Step 4:
Compare the fifth letter of (Cler
k
, Cler
i
cal). Clerical will come before Clerk in the sequence as
i
comes before
k
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Claim, Clearly, Clerical, Clerk or 1, 2, 4, 3. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
