If the given words are arranged according to the English alphabetical order, then which of the following words will come at third place?
(1) Uranium
(2) Urvashi
(3) Usmaan
(4) Usha
(5) Utensils
(6) United
(7) Unique
A
Uranium
B
Urvashi
C
Usha
D
United
Explanation
While solving such questions we have to arrange all the given words. We can't solve the question directly with the help of options. The first letters of all the words are 'U'. Therefore we will compare the second letters i.e. r,r,s,s,t,n and n. After arranging these letters according to English alphabet, we will get n,n,r,r,s,s and t respectively. Thus the first two words will be 'United' and 'Unique'. We don't need to figure out which of these two words will come first, because we have to find out the third word. Since in the given second placed letters 'r' will come after 'n', therefore we will compare the words 'Uranium' and 'Urvashi'. Here the word 'Uranium' will come first. Hence the word which will come at the third place is 'Uranium'. Ans (A)
