Solution :
Given:
1. Forbes 2. Forest 3. Forensic 4. Formation
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
F
, we move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
Let's move to the second letter of each word. Since all the words have the same second and third letters
o
and
r
, we move on to the next letter.
Step 3:
The fourth letter of each word is:
b, e, e, m
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them: For
b
es, For
e
st, For
e
nsic, For
m
ation.
Step 4:
Compare the fifth letter of (Fore
s
t, Fore
n
sic). Fore
n
sic will come before Fore
s
t in the sequence as
n
comes before
s
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Forbes, Forensic, Forest, Formation, or 1, 3, 2, 4. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
