Solution :
Given:
1. Monorail 2. Monument 3. Monopoly 4. Monster 5. Monitor 6. Monsoon
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
M
, move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second and third letters of each word are the same. So, move on to the next letter.
Step 3:
The fourth letter of each word is
o
,
u
,
o
,
s
,
i
,
s
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Mon
i
tor, Mon
o
rail, Mon
o
poly, Mon
s
ter, Mon
s
oon, Mon
u
ment
Step 4:
Compare the fifth letter of (Mono
r
ail, Mono
p
oly) and (Mons
t
er, Mons
o
on). Monopoly will come before Monorail in the sequence as
p
comes before
r
in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Monsoon will come before Monster as
o
comes before
t
.
So, the sequence is Monitor, Monopoly, Monorail, Monsoon, Monster, Monument, or 5, 3, 1, 6, 4, 2 . Hence, the fourth option is correct.
