Correct Answer: 2, 5, 4, 1, 3

Solution : Given:
1. Empress 2. Employee 3. Empty 4. Emporium 5. Employer

Step 1: Compare the first, second, and third letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter E, m, and p , then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The fourth letter of each word is r, l, t, o or l . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Emp l oyee, Emp l oyer, Emp o rium, Emp r ess, Emp t y.
Step 3: The first seven letters of ( Employe e, Employe r) are the same, so compare the eighth letter of (Employe e , Employe r ). Employe e will come before Employe r in the sequence as e comes before r in the alphabetical system.

So, the sequence is Employee, Employer, Emporium, Empress, Empty or 2, 5, 4,1, 3. Hence, the third option is correct
