Problems Involving Sequencing- As Directed

Sequence or Arrangement of Words As Directed In The Question: In this type of questions, certain inter-related words are given and numbered, followed by various sequences of the numbers denoting them, as alternatives. The candidate is required to arrange these words in a logical sequence based on a common property and then choose the correctly graded sequence from the given alternatives.Sequence of objects in a class or group, from part to the whole :

Illustration: Arrange the following in a meaningful order, from particular to general :

1. Family          2. Community          3. Member          4. Locality          5. Country  

A.  3, 1, 2, 4, 5             B. 3, 1, 2, 5, 4              C. 3, 1, 4, 2, 5               D. 3, 1, 4, 5, 2

Answer:A

Solution: Clearly, a member is a part of a family, which in turn is a part of community. The community lives in a locality which lies within a country.

Community means a group of people who choose to live together, due to the common interests and habits that they share. Locality is the geographical area or the neighborhood where a particular person, or a family, or a community, etc. resides. Hence community is more particular element than locality. Thus, it is placed before.

Thus, the correct order is 3, 1, 2, 4, 5.

Hence, the answer is A.

Illustration: Arrange the following in a logical order it may be from top to bottom or bottom to top :

1. Shoulder          2. Wrist          3. Elbow            4. Palm          5.  Finger

 A. 2, 4, 5, 3, 1              B. 3, 1, 4, 2, 5               C. 3, 4, 5, 2, 1              D. 5, 4, 2, 3, 1

Answer:D

Solution :Clearly we are given the names of parts of a hand, which may be arranged

(i) from top to bottom, i.e., Shoulder, Wrist, Palm, Finger, which is 1, 3, 2, 4, 5; or

(ii) from bottom to top, i.e., Finger, Palm, Wrist, Elbow, Shoulder, which is 5, 4, 2, 3, 1.

Out of these, the sequences 5, 4, 2, 3, 1 is given in the alternatives provided.

Hence, the answer is D.
