Solution :
Given :
1. Maternity 2. Mundane 3. Maternal 4. Motor 5. Mother
Step 1:
We can see the first letter is common in all so we will start from the second letter.
Step 2:
The second letter of each word is
a, u,
and
o.
Based on the alphabetical order, we can arrange them as
–
M
a
ternity, M
a
ternal, M
o
tor, M
o
ther, M
u
ndane.
Step 3:
Compare the seventh letter of (Matern
i
ty, Matern
a
l). Maternal will come before Maternity as
a
comes before
i
in the alphabetical series.
Step 4:
Compare the fourth letter of (Mot
o
r, Mot
h
er). Mother will come before Motor as
h
comes before
o
in the alphabetical series.
