Correct Answer: 4, 5, 1, 2, 3
Solution :
Given:
1. Manger 2. Mango 3. Mangrove 4. Manage 5. Manager
Step I:
Compare the first, second and third letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
M
and are followed by
a
,
n
and
g
, then move on to the next letter.
Step II:
The fourth letters are
g, g, g, a, a
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Man
a
ge, Man
a
ger, Man
g
er, Man
g
o, Man
g
rove.
Step III:
The fifth and sixth letters of Mana
ge
and Mana
ge
r are the same. However, there is no seventh letter in Manage, hence, Manage will come before Manager in the dictionary.
Step IV:
The fifth letters of Mang
e
r, Mang
o
, and Mang
r
ove are
e, o
, and
r
. The correct dictionary order for words is Mang
e
r, Mang
o
, Mang
r
ove.
So, the sequence is → Manage, Manager, Manger, Mango, Mangrove or 4, 5, 1, 2, 3. Hence, the second option is correct.
