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


Solution : Given:
1. Deficient  2. Derived  3. Designed  4. Destined  5. Destination

Step 1: Since all the words start with the same letter D, move to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is the same. So, compare the third letter of each word – f, r, s, s, s. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Deficient, Derived, Designed, Destined, Destination.
Step 3: Compare the fourth letter of (Designed, Destined, Destination). Designed will come before Destined and Destination as i comes before t in the alphabetical system.
Step 4: Compare the seventh letter of (Destined, Destination). Destination will come before Destined as a comes before e in the alphabetical system.

The sequence will be Deficient, Derived, Designed, Destination, Destined, or 1, 2, 3, 5, 4. Hence, the first option is correct.
