Correct Answer: 2, 1, 4, 3, 5
Solution :
Given:
1. Fragile 2. Fracture 3. Fraud 4. Fragment 5. Fridge
Step 1:
Compare the first and second letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
F
and are followed by
r
then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The third letter of each word is either
a
or
i.
Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Fr
a
gile, Fr
a
cture, Fr
a
ud, Fr
a
gment, Fr
i
dge
Step 3:
Compare the fourth letter of (Fra
g
ile, Fra
c
ture, Fra
u
d, Fra
g
ment). Fra
c
ture will come before Fra
g
ile and Fra
g
ment and Fra
u
d will come at last. As
c
comes before
g
and
u
comes at last.
Step 4:
Compare the fourth letter of (Frag
i
le, Frag
m
ent). Frag
i
le will come before Frag
m
ent in the sequence as
i
comes before
m
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Fracture, Fragile, Fragment, Fraud, Fridge or 2, 1, 4, 3, 5. Hence, the second option is correct.
