Solution :
Given:
1. Monocrystal 2. Monitoral 3. Monocular 4. Monsieur 5. Monochromist 6. Mongoose
Step 1:
Compare the first, second, and third letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
M
and are followed by
o, n
then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The fourth letter of each word is
g
,
i
,
o,
or
s
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Mon
g
oose, Mon
i
toral, Mon
o
crystal, Mon
o
cular, Mon
o
chromist, Mon
s
ieur
Step 3:
Compare the sixth letter of (Monoc
r
ystal, Monoc
u
lar, Monoc
h
romist). Monoc
h
romist will come before Monoc
r
ystal and Monoc
u
lar come in the last in the sequence as
h
comes before
r
in the alphabetical system and
u
comes at last.
So, the sequence is Mongoose, Monitoral, Monochromist, Monocrystal, Monocular, Monsieur or 6,2,5,1,3,4. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
