Correct Answer: iv, v, ii, i, iii
Solution :
Given:
i. Irrelevant ii. Invincible iii. Irresistible iv. Invariable v. Investigate
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
I
, we move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
Let's move to the second letter of each word. The second letter of each word is
r, n, r, n, n
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them: I
n
vincible, I
n
variable, I
n
vestigate I
r
relevant, I
r
resistible.
Step 3:
Since the third letter of (In
v
incible, In
v
ariable, In
v
estigate) is the same, move on to the next letter. Compare the fourth letter of (Inv
i
ncible, Inv
a
riable, Inv
e
stigate). Inv
a
riable will come before Inv
e
stigate and then Inv
i
ncible in the sequence as
a
comes before
e
, and
e
comes before
i
in the alphabetical system.
Step 4:
Compare the fifth letter of (Irre
l
evant, Irre
s
istible). Irre
l
evant will come before Irre
s
istible in the sequence as
i
comes before
s
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Invariable, Investigate, Invincible, Irrelevant, Irresistible, or (iv), (v), (ii), (i), (iii). Hence, the fourth option is correct.
