Solution :
Given:
1. Ratio 2. Raise 3. Rapid 4. Robin 5. Royal
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
R
, move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second letter of each word is either
a
or
o
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – R
a
tio, R
a
ise, R
a
pid, R
o
bin, R
o
yal
Step 3:
Compare the third letter of (Ra
t
io, Ra
i
se, Ra
p
id) and (Ro
b
in, Ro
y
al). Raise will come before Ratio, and Rapid in the sequence as
i
comes before
t
, and
p
in the alphabetical system. Also, Rapid will come before Ration in the sequence as
p
comes before
t
in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Robin will come before Royal as
b
comes before
y
.
The sequence is Raise, Rapid, Ratio, Robin, Royal, or 2, 3, 1, 4, 5. Hence, the first option is correct.
