Question

Arrange the following words in a logical sequence: 1. Gold, 2. Iron, 3. Sand, 4. Platinum, 5. Diamond.

• A. \(3, 2, 1, 4, 5\)
• B. \(3, 1, 2, 4, 5\)
• C. \(3, 2, 4, 1, 5\)
• D. \(3, 1, 4, 2, 5\)

Hint:

In ordering questions involving minerals or materials, a common approach is to arrange them according to increasing value, rarity, or hardness.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: In logical sequencing questions, items should be arranged based on a meaningful order such as value, rarity, hardness, size, or importance. Here, the sequence can be arranged according to the increasing value of natural materials and minerals.
Step 1:Identify the least valuable material.
Sand is the most common and least valuable material. \[ 3 \rightarrow \text{Sand} \]
Step 2:Arrange the metals in increasing value.
Among the metals given: \[ \text{Iron}<\text{Gold}<\text{Platinum} \] Thus, \[ 2 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 4 \]
Step 3:Identify the most valuable item.
Diamond is the most precious among the given options. \[ 5 \rightarrow \text{Diamond} \]
Step 4:Form the final logical sequence.
\[ 3, 2, 1, 4, 5 \]
