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


Solution : Given:
1. Empress 2. Employee 3. Empty 4. Emporium 5. Employer

Step 1: Compare the first, second, and third letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter E, m, and p, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The fourth letter of each word is r, l, t, o or l. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Employee, Employer, Emporium, Empress, Empty.
Step 3: The first seven letters of (Employee, Employer) are the same, so compare the eighth letter of (Employee, Employer). Employee will come before Employein the sequence as e comes before in the alphabetical system. 

So, the sequence is Employee, Employer, Emporium, Empress, Empty or 2, 5, 4,1, 3. Hence, the third option is correct
