Question 1

Arrange the following living things into a logical food-chain sequence from producer to apex consumer.  Items: (a) Frog  (b) Eagle  (c) Grasshopper  (d) Snake  (e) Grass

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: Food-chain questions place organisms in the order of energy flow: producer → primary consumer → secondary consumer → higher predators. Given Data / Assumptions: Producer: (e) Grass. Primary consumer (herbivore): (c) Grasshopper. Secondary consumer: (a) Frog (eats insects). Tertiary consumer: (d) Snake (eats frogs). Apex predator here: (b) Eagle (can prey on snakes). Concept / Approach: Follow “who eats whom” logically from plant to top predator. Step-by-Step Solution: Grass → Grasshopper → Frog → Snake → EagleMap to letters: e → c → a → d → b Verification / Alternative check: Each step is ecologically plausible and commonly cited in basic biology examples. Why Other Options Are Wrong: Other orders either place a consumer before its food source or reverse predator–prey relationships. Common Pitfalls: Confusing which organisms are herbivores vs. carnivores. Final Answer: e, c, a, d, b

Question 2

Arrange the following water bodies by increasing size/general extent.  Items: (a) Ocean  (b) Sea  (c) Pond  (d) River

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: We rank common water bodies roughly by scale and hydrological role from smallest/local to largest/global. Given Data / Assumptions: Pond is typically the smallest, localized standing water. River is larger and flowing, draining into seas/oceans. Sea is a large saline body, part of or connected to oceans. Ocean is the largest body of water on Earth. Concept / Approach: Use general size/extent: Pond → River → Sea → Ocean. Step-by-Step Solution: c → d → b → a Verification / Alternative check: Rivers commonly discharge into seas; seas are subdivisions/margins of oceans. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They place ocean too early or mix river/sea order. Common Pitfalls: Confusing “river” (flowing) with “sea/ocean” (standing saline bodies). Final Answer: c, d, b, a

Question 3

Arrange building steps logically from groundwork to finishing.  Items: (a) Plastering  (b) Painting  (c) Foundation  (d) Walls  (e) Ceiling

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: We sequence construction tasks from structure to finish. The exact site sequence may vary, but standard pedagogy expects structural stages first, then surface finishing. Given Data / Assumptions: (c) Foundation precedes all superstructure. (d) Walls form the vertical structure. (e) Ceiling (structural/cover) before finishes. (a) Plastering prepares surfaces. (b) Painting is the final finish. Concept / Approach: From base to structure to enclosure, then wet finish (plaster) and dry finish (paint). Step-by-Step Solution: c → d → e → a → b Verification / Alternative check: Painting follows plaster drying/curing; ceilings exist before finishing coats. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They put finishes before structure or mix the finishing order. Common Pitfalls: Swapping plastering and painting. Final Answer: c, d, e, a, b

Question 4

Arrange the daily school routine steps in a logical morning order.  Items: (a) Open textbook  (b) Attend assembly  (c) Catch bus  (d) Wear uniform  (e) Get into classroom

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: The task orders typical before-school and at-school actions from home preparation to classroom study. Given Data / Assumptions: Uniform is worn at home. Bus is boarded to reach school. Schools commonly hold morning assembly after arrival. Students then move to classrooms. Textbooks are opened once seated. Concept / Approach: Use a time-line from home to school activities. Step-by-Step Solution: Wear uniform → Catch bus → Attend assembly → Get into classroom → Open textbook Verification / Alternative check: This mirrors standard school routines. Why Other Options Are Wrong: Some put assembly before transport or reading before reaching class. Common Pitfalls: Placing in-class activities before arrival. Final Answer: d, c, b, e, a

Question 5

Arrange the following by increasing geographical/containment scope.  Items: A. House  B. Street  C. Room  D. Town  E. District

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: We order places from the smallest unit to larger administrative/urban scales. Given Data / Assumptions: Room is inside a house. Houses lie along a street. Streets belong to a town. Towns fall within a district. Concept / Approach: Use “is contained in” relationships. Step-by-Step Solution: Room → House → Street → Town → District Verification / Alternative check: Each step moves to a wider area. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They misplace street/town or invert containment. Common Pitfalls: Confusing street vs. town ordering. Final Answer: C, A, B, D, E

Question 6

Arrange basic geometric notions from simplest to more complex shapes.  Items: (a) Line  (b) Angle  (c) Square  (d) Triangle

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: From elementary geometry: line → angle (two rays) → triangle (3 angles) → square (4 equal sides/angles). Given Data / Assumptions: We build complexity stepwise. Concept / Approach: Conceptual dependency: an angle needs lines; polygons need angles; quadrilaterals follow triangles in complexity. Step-by-Step Solution: Line → Angle → Triangle → Square Verification / Alternative check: Count of sides/angles increases monotonically. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They start with a shape or mix order. Common Pitfalls: Confusing “line” vs “angle” prerequisites. Final Answer: a, b, d, c

Question 7

Arrange time frequencies from most frequent to least frequent.  Items: A. Yearly  B. Fortnightly  C. Monthly  D. Daily  E. Weekly

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: We sort periodicities by how often they occur within a year. Given Data / Assumptions: Daily > Weekly > Fortnightly (~2 weeks) > Monthly > Yearly in frequency. Concept / Approach: Rank by decreasing number of occurrences per year. Step-by-Step Solution: Daily → Weekly → Fortnightly → Monthly → Yearly Verification / Alternative check: Counts per year confirm the order. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They misplace fortnightly or monthly. Common Pitfalls: Mixing weekly vs fortnightly positions. Final Answer: D, E, B, C, A

Question 8

Arrange geometric primitives from the most basic element to more complex figures.  Items: (a) Point  (b) Triangle  (c) Square  (d) Angle  (e) Line

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: Build geometry from the primitive “point”. A line connects points; an angle joins rays; polygons follow. Given Data / Assumptions: Point → Line → Angle → Triangle → Square. Concept / Approach: Use dependency ordering (you need lines before angles, angles before polygons). Step-by-Step Solution: a → e → d → b → c Verification / Alternative check: The count of sides/angles rises consistently. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They place complex figures before primitives. Common Pitfalls: Skipping angle before triangle. Final Answer: a, e, d, b, c

Question 9

Arrange the life/plant terms into a logical biological sequence.  Items: (a) Plant  (b) Food  (c) Seed  (d) Leaf  (e) Flower

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: The sequence follows plant development and function: seed germinates into a plant; leaves/photosynthesis; flowering; food (as plant products/energy). Given Data / Assumptions: Seed → Plant → Leaf → Flower → Food. Concept / Approach: Use growth stages and functional roles. Step-by-Step Solution: c → a → d → e → b Verification / Alternative check: Photosynthesis (leaf) precedes flowering; food is an outcome/product. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They misplace functional stages (e.g., food before growth). Common Pitfalls: Interchanging leaf/flower order. Final Answer: c, a, d, e, b

Question 10

Arrange human body parts broadly from head downward, placing the arm/hand after shoulder.  Items: (a) Heel  (b) Shoulder  (c) Skull  (d) Neck  (e) Knee  (f) Chest  (g) Thigh  (h) Stomach  (i) Face  (j) Hand

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: We order body parts from head toward feet, inserting the arm/hand logically after shoulder. Given Data / Assumptions: Head region: Skull, then Face; Neck joins head to torso; Shoulder precedes Hand on the limb; Chest and Stomach follow; then Thigh, Knee, Heel toward the feet. Concept / Approach: Use anatomical top-to-bottom placement with limb branching right after the shoulder. Step-by-Step Solution: Skull (c) → Face (i) → Neck (d) → Shoulder (b) → Hand (j) → Chest (f) → Stomach (h) → Thigh (g) → Knee (e) → Heel (a) Verification / Alternative check: This preserves gross anatomical order while reasonably placing the upper limb immediately after its origin at the shoulder. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They jumble head parts or place lower-limb segments before trunk segments. Common Pitfalls: Putting hand after thigh/knee or mixing skull/face ordering. Final Answer: c, i, d, b, j, f, h, g, e, a

Question 11

Arrange conference-related items in the logical event timeline.  Items: (a) Conference  (b) Registration  (c) Participate  (d) Invitation  (e) Representatives

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: We place actions/entities along a typical conference lifecycle: invite first, then the conference event, with representatives identified and registered, culminating in participation. Given Data / Assumptions: (d) Invitation precedes everything. (a) Conference is the central event. (e) Representatives are the people designated to attend. (b) Registration formalizes attendance. (c) Participate occurs during the conference. Concept / Approach: Timeline: Send invites → hold conference (umbrella) with designated representatives → register them → they participate. Step-by-Step Solution: d → a → e → b → c Verification / Alternative check: Registration is logically tied to attendees; placing it after representatives is sensible. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They start with the event or misplace registration. Common Pitfalls: Confusing “representatives” (people) with an action step. Final Answer: d, a, e, b, c

Question 12

Arrange the following by containment/scale, correcting the obvious typo “Hemlet” → “Hamlet (village)”.  Items: (a) House  (b) Road  (c) Room  (d) Hamlet  (e) District

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: We order localized entities to wider administrative areas. “Hamlet” is a small village/settlement level. Given Data / Assumptions: Room is inside a house; houses connect by a road within a hamlet; hamlets belong to a district. Concept / Approach: Move from smallest contained unit to larger civic/administrative unit. Step-by-Step Solution: Room → House → Road → Hamlet → District Verification / Alternative check: Road is an infrastructural element that serves multiple houses and sits within a settlement such as a hamlet. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They place road before room/house or district before hamlet. Common Pitfalls: Treating road as an administrative unit. Final Answer: c, a, b, d, e

Question 13

Arrange the following roles/steps as they typically occur after an accident.  Items: (a) Accident  (b) Judge  (c) Doctor  (d) Lawyer  (e) Police

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: Post-accident processes commonly prioritize medical attention, then law-and-order, then legal proceedings. Given Data / Assumptions: Immediate doctor care; police record/investigate; lawyers represent; judge adjudicates. Concept / Approach: Order by urgency then legal sequence. Step-by-Step Solution: Accident → Doctor → Police → Lawyer → Judge Verification / Alternative check: Medical stabilization precedes formal legal stages. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They put judge early or omit police before legal trial. Common Pitfalls: Interchanging police and doctor positions. Final Answer: a, c, e, d, b

Question 14

Arrange the academic-employment pathway in a logical order.  Items: (a) Study  (b) Job  (c) Examination  (d) Earn  (e) Appointment

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: We order milestones from learning to income. Given Data / Assumptions: Study precedes exams; appointment letter follows selection; then job; earnings result from employment. Concept / Approach: Use common education-to-work pipeline. Step-by-Step Solution: Study → Examination → Appointment → Job → Earn Verification / Alternative check: Appointment logically precedes joining the job. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They mix earn before job or job before appointment. Common Pitfalls: Confusing “appointment” and “job”. Final Answer: a, c, e, b, d

Question 15

Arrange personal development/economic outcomes logically.  Items: (a) Income  (b) Fame  (c) Education  (d) Employment

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: The typical chain: education leads to employment, which yields income; fame may follow as a byproduct. Given Data / Assumptions: Education → Employment → Income → Fame. Concept / Approach: Cause-and-effect in career progression. Step-by-Step Solution: c → d → a → b Verification / Alternative check: Income depends on employment; fame is least deterministic and usually later. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They place effects before causes. Common Pitfalls: Swapping fame and income. Final Answer: c, d, a, b

Question 16

Arrange criminal-justice elements in a plausible order.  Items: (a) Police  (b) Punishment  (c) Crime  (d) Justice  (e) Judgement

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: We chart a simplified path from offense to societal response. In many exam keys “justice” is treated as an overarching objective recognized before formal “judgement” and “punishment”. Given Data / Assumptions: Crime occurs; Police respond; the system pursues Justice; a court delivers Judgement; Punishment follows. Concept / Approach: Place operational response first, normative goal (justice) next, then adjudication and sanction. Step-by-Step Solution: Crime (c) → Police (a) → Justice (d) → Judgement (e) → Punishment (b) Verification / Alternative check: Although in real procedure judgement precedes the formal declaration of justice, many reasoning sets position “justice” as the guiding aim recognized before verdict and sentence. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They place punishment before judgement or start with police absent a crime. Common Pitfalls: Interpreting “justice” strictly as a post-judgement outcome rather than the guiding objective in these syllabi. Final Answer: c, a, d, e, b

Question 17

Arrange administrative units in India from smallest local area to national level.  Items: (a) Nation  (b) Village  (c) Taluk/Tehsil  (d) District  (e) State

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: The standard Indian administrative hierarchy rises from village to nation. Given Data / Assumptions: Village → Taluk/Tehsil → District → State → Nation. Concept / Approach: Order by administrative scope. Step-by-Step Solution: b → c → d → e → a Verification / Alternative check: This matches civics/administration basics. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They misplace state and nation or start at nation. Common Pitfalls: Confusing taluk vs district order. Final Answer: b, c, d, e, a

Question 18

Arrange the student-learning flow from actor to outcome.  Items: (a) Study  (b) Books  (c) Examination  (d) Student  (e) Result

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: We move from the learner to resources and actions through assessment to outcomes. Given Data / Assumptions: Student uses Books to Study; then takes Examination; produces Result. Concept / Approach: Actor → resource → activity → assessment → outcome. Step-by-Step Solution: Student → Books → Study → Examination → Result Verification / Alternative check: This path is standard in academics. Why Other Options Are Wrong: They place exams or results before study or misrepeat an option. Common Pitfalls: Confusing resources (books) with actions (study). Final Answer: d, b, a, c, e

Question 19

Arrange the given human body parts in logical top-to-bottom order on a standing person: Items: a. Chest  b. Forehead  c. Stomach  d. Ears  e. Legs  f. Chin Choose the sequence that correctly lists them from highest to lowest on the body.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: This problem asks you to place common body parts in a vertical order for a person standing upright. The intended skill is “logical sequencing” using real-world spatial knowledge. Given Data / Assumptions: Parts and labels: a=Chest, b=Forehead, c=Stomach, d=Ears, e=Legs, f=Chin. Reference posture: standing human, head at top, feet at bottom. Goal: order from highest (near the top of the head) to lowest (legs). Concept / Approach: Start at the head and move downward. On the head, the forehead (b) is above the ears (d), and the chin (f) is below the mouth but still above the chest. Below the head come chest (a) then stomach (c). The legs (e) are the lowest among the listed parts. Step-by-Step Solution: Top of head region: forehead (b).Side of head but lower than forehead: ears (d).Lower face: chin (f).Torso upper: chest (a).Torso mid/lower: stomach (c).Lowest among listed: legs (e). Verification / Alternative check: Visualize a front silhouette. Everything aligns with standard human anatomy from superior to inferior orientation. Why Other Options Are Wrong: a,b,d,f,c,e: Puts chest above forehead—anatomically impossible. e,d,b,f,a,c and a,d,b,f,c,e: Misplace legs or chest relative to head parts. None of these: Not applicable because a correct sequence exists. Common Pitfalls: Confusing lateral placement (ears) with vertical height; remember we are ordering by height, not left/right. Final Answer: b, d, f, a, c, e

Question 20

Arrange the Army ranks in a logical chain of command (from highest authority to lower): Items: a. Major  b. Captain  c. Colonel  d. Brigadier  e. Lt. General Choose the sequence from the most senior to the most junior.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context: Rank ordering questions test general awareness of hierarchical structures. Here the list contains five commissioned ranks; we are to place them in descending seniority (highest to lowest). Given Data / Assumptions: Ranks: Lt. General (e), Brigadier (d), Colonel (c), Major (a), Captain (b). We assume a standard hierarchy of seniority used in many armies. Concept / Approach: Recall the broad structure: General officers > field officers > company-grade officers. Lt. General is a three-star general officer above Brigadier (one-star), which in turn is above Colonel (senior field officer). Within company/field grades listed, Major outranks Captain. Step-by-Step Solution: Top: Lt. General (e).Next: Brigadier (d).Then: Colonel (c).Then: Major (a).Lowest among given: Captain (b). Verification / Alternative check: Cross-compare any two adjacent pairs: e>d>c>a>b is consistent with widely known command precedence. Why Other Options Are Wrong: e,a,d,b,c and others: Mix ranks across categories, e.g., placing Major above Colonel/Brigadier is incorrect. None of these: Not needed since a standard chain exists. Common Pitfalls: Confusing Brigadier vs Colonel order; remembering “Brigadier” is a general officer grade above Colonel resolves this. Final Answer: e, d, c, a, b
