The correct answer is option (3) : D, A, C, E, B

To increase the foreign exchange reserve of the economy, you would typically follow these steps in a sequence order :

Devaluation of Indian Currency (D) by RBI : Devaluation is the first step.

Increase in purchasing power of non-residents (A) : Devaluation will make the imports cheaper for foreign residents (non residents) as they get more rupees for one dollar after devaluation. This can encourage non-residents to spend more in the domestic economy, leading to an increase in foreign exchange reserves.

Export promotion of domestic goods & services (C) : As a result of demand from non residents of Indian products, the exports will increase.

More inflow of FDI's and FII's in the domestic market (E) : Attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) and foreign institutional investments (FII) can further increase foreign exchange reserves.

More inflow of foreign exchange in the domestic market (B) : This step completes the process, with increased foreign exchange reserves as a result of the preceding actions.
