Arrange the following letter groups in the order in which they would appear in an English dictionary.
1. VDSDSDF, 2. VDSDJKN, 3. VSSDSDJ, 4. VDFGCKD, 5. VDFLJSL
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 45213
In a dictionary, words are compared letter by letter from the left; the first place where two words differ decides which comes first.
All five words begin with V; the second letter is D in words 1, 2, 4, 5 and S in word 3, so VSSDSDJ (3) is last
Among the VD- words, the third letters are F (VDFGCKD, VDFLJSL) and S (VDSDSDF, VDSDJKN), so the two VDF- words come first
VDFGCKD and VDFLJSL: fourth letters G and L; G comes first, so 4, then 5
VDSDSDF and VDSDJKN both begin with VDSD; the fifth letters are S and J, and J comes first, so 2, then 1
Order: VDFGCKD (4), VDFLJSL (5), VDSDJKN (2), VDSDSDF (1), VSSDSDJ (3)
The sequence is 45213.
