Correct Answer: 15234


Solution : Given:
1. Temple 2. Trained 3. Training 4. Troupe 5. Tented

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter T, then move to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is – e, r, r, r, e. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Temple, Tented, Trained, Training, Troupe.
Step 3: Compare the third letter of (Temple, Tented) and (Trained, Training, Troupe). Temple will come before Tented in the sequence as m comes before n in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Trained and Training will come before Troupe.
Step 4: As the first five letters of (Trained, Training) are the same so, compare the sixth letter of (Trained, Training). Trained will come before Training in the sequence as e comes before i in the alphabetical system.

The sequence will be Temple, Tented, Trained, Training, Troupe, or 15234. Hence, the first option is correct.
