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


Solution : Given:
1. Interest 2. Interdisciplinary 3. Interdict 4. Interdependent 5. Intersect

Step 1: We have the first five letters I, n, t, e, r common in all the words given above, so we will start from the sixth letter.
Step 2: Compare the sixth letter of the given words. The sequence will be – Interdisciplinary, Interdict, Interdependent, Interest, Intersect
Step 2: Compare the seventh letter of (Interdisciplinary, Interdict, Interdependent). Interdependent will come before (Interdisciplinary, Interdict) as e comes before i in the alphabetical series.
Step 3: Compare the eighth letter of (Interdisciplinary, Interdict). Interdict will come before Interdisciplinary as c comes before s in the alphabetical series.

So, the sequence will be Interdependent, Interdict, Interdisciplinary, Interest, Intersect, or 4, 3, 2, 1, 5. Hence, the second option is correct.
