Answer (Detailed Solution Below)View answer ▾Hide ▴
Answer: Option A — 1, 5, 3, 2, 4
Detailed Solution
A seed grows into a sapling, the sapling into a plant; the plant bears flowers, and flowers turn into fruit.
So the order is Seed, Sapling, Plant, Flower, Fruit: 1, 5, 3, 2, 4. Option (D) puts fruit before flower, and (B) puts plant before sapling.

Logical Sequence of Words — Preparation
This question tests your understanding of Logical Sequence of Words, a key topic in the Logical Reasoning section. The detailed solution above uses a step-by-step approach to show the reasoning, and where available, a shortcut that helps you solve similar questions in under 90 seconds during the actual exam.
Logical sequence of words questions give a list of words or terms and ask you to arrange them in a meaningful order. The order may follow size (village, city, state, country, world), stages of life (infant, child, teenager, adult), steps in a process (seed, plant, flower, fruit), time, quantity, or a hierarchy such as ranks in an organisation. The answer options are number sequences showing the correct order. Start by finding the relationship that links all the words, then decide whether the order runs from small to large, early to late, or low to high. Next, identify the first and the last item, which usually rules out most options straight away. If two options still remain, check the middle terms against the relationship. Be careful with items that can fit more than one order, such as a process that can start from two different steps, and choose the order that is most natural and widely accepted. Practise the logical sequence of words questions below. Each solution explains the order and the relationship behind it.
