Correct Answer: 35412


Solution : Given:
1. Nailed   2. Nailgn   3. Magazine   4. Monkey   5. Mend

Step 1: The first letter of each word is – N, N, M, M, M. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Magazine, Monkey, Mend, Nailed, Nailgn.
Step 2: Compare the second letter of (Magazine, Monkey, Mend). Magazine will come before Monkey and Mend as a comes before o and e in the alphabetical order, and Mend will come before Monkey as e comes before in the alphabetical order.
Step 3: As the first four letters of (Nailed, Nailgn) are the same so, compare the fifth letter of (Nailed, Nailgn). Similarly, Nailed will come before Nailgn as e comes before g in the alphabetical order.

So, the sequence is – Magazine, Mend, Monkey, Nailed, Nailgn, or 35412. Hence, the first option is correct.
