Arrange time intervals from most frequent to least frequent occurrence: Daily, Weekly, Fortnightly (every two weeks), Monthly, Bimonthly (every two months).

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: (ii), (i), (iv), (iii), (v)

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Here we rank recurrence intervals from the highest frequency (shortest interval) to the lowest frequency (longest interval). This is common in scheduling and calendaring contexts.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Daily (ii) = every day.
  • Weekly (i) = every 7 days.
  • Fortnightly (iv) = every 14 days.
  • Monthly (iii) ≈ every 30 days (average month length).
  • Bimonthly (v) = every 2 months (~60 days) in this context.


Concept / Approach:
Order by increasing interval length (decreasing frequency): daily → weekly → fortnightly → monthly → bimonthly.


Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Daily (ii) — most frequent.2) Weekly (i) — every 7 days.3) Fortnightly (iv) — every 14 days.4) Monthly (iii) — every ~30 days.5) Bimonthly (v) — every ~60 days.


Verification / Alternative check:
Convert to approximate day counts and ensure strictly ascending: 1 < 7 < 14 < 30 < 60.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • (a), (c), (d) misplace one or more intervals, disrupting the monotonic increase.


Common Pitfalls:

  • Interpreting “bimonthly” as “twice a month.” In this quantitative ordering item, it is used as “once every two months,” which is standard in many reasoning questions.


Final Answer:
(ii), (i), (iv), (iii), (v)
