Correct Answer: 5, 1, 4, 2, 3


Solution : Given:
1. Physical 2. Physics 3. Physiology 4. Physician 5. Phone

Step 1: Compare the first and second letters of each word. Since all the words started with the same letters P and h, move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The third letter of each word is either o or y. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Phone, Physical, Physics, Physiology, Physician.
Step 3: Compare the sixth letter of (Physical, Physics, Physiology, Physician). Physical, Physics, and Physician will come before Physiology in the sequence as c comes before o in the alphabetical system.
Step 4: Compare the seventh letter of (Physical, Physics, Physician). Physical will come before Physics and Physician as a comes before s and i in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Physician will come before Physics as i comes before s.

So, the sequence is Phone, Physical, Physician, Physics, Physiology, or 5, 1, 4, 2, 3. Hence, the first option is correct.
