Answer
Correct Answer: (c) (d) (e) (a) (b)
Explanation
Introduction / Context:This tests understanding of generational hierarchy in a family lineage.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Youngest: Grandson (c).
- Next: Son (d).
- Then: Father (e).
- Then: Grandfather (a).
- Oldest: Great grandfather (b).
Concept / Approach:Move up one generation at a time from the child to his ancestors.
Step-by-Step Solution:
c → d → e → a → b.Verification / Alternative check:Reversing yields oldest-to-youngest, which is also coherent, confirming relative order.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- Sequences placing ancestors below descendants break generational order.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing “grandfather” vs “great grandfather”.
Final Answer:(c) (d) (e) (a) (b)
