Correct Answer: 3, 5, 2, 1, 6, 4


Solution : Given:
1. Realistic 2. Readily 3. Reach 4. Really 5. Reactor 6. Realize

Step 1: Compare the first, second, and third letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter R and are followed by e and a, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The fourth letter of each word is either c, d, or l. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Reach, Reactor, Readily, Realistic, Really, Realize.
Step 3: Compare the fifth letter of (Reach, Reactor) and the fifth letter of (Realistic, Really, Realize). Reach will come before Reactor in the sequence as h comes before in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Realistic and Realize will come before Really ascomes before l.
Step 4: Compare the sixth letter of (Realistic, Realize). Realistic will come before Realize in the sequence as s comes before z in the alphabetical system.

So, the sequence is Reach, Reactor, Readily, Realistic, Realize, Really, or 3, 5, 2, 1, 6, 4. Hence, the second option is correct.
