Correct Answer: 2, 4, 5, 1, 3
Solution :
Given:
1. Expensive 2. Expedition 3. Experience 4. Expel 5. Expenditure
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
E
, move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second, third, and fourth letters of each word are the same
x, p,
and
e
, so move on to the next letter.
Step 3:
The fifth letter of each word is:
n, d, r, l, n
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Expe
d
ition, Expe
l,
Expe
n
sive, Expe
n
diture, Expe
r
ience
Step 4:
Compare the sixth letter of (Expen
s
ive, Expen
d
iture). Expenditure will come before Expensive in the sequence as
d
comes before
s
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Expedition, Expel, Expenditure, Expensive, Experience, or 2, 4, 5, 1, 3. Hence, the
first option
is correct.
