(A) Sinha was driving his cart along a road that was full of holes.
(B) One of the cart's wheels went into a deep hole.

(D) Sinha cursed the road development authority even as he tried to free his cart from the hole.

• A. ADBC
• B. CADB
• C. ACBD
• D. DBCA

Answer 1

The correct option is C ACBD

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that introduces a new topic. It should not be a continuation or extension of a topic.

A is first in the sequence: A is the only statement that provides a proper start. It tells us that Sinha was driving his cart on a road full of holes.

A is followed by C: C adds further details to A's statement. It says that the holes on the road were filled by rainwater and thus, Sinha could not gauge their depth.

C is followed by B: B tells us what happened as a result of C's point. It says, as Sinha could not gauge the depth of the holes, one of the wheels of his cart went into a deep hole.

B is followed by D: D tells us what happened directly after B occurred. It says, as a wheel went into a deep hole, Sinha cursed the road development authority as he was trying to free his cart.

Thus, the correct sequence is A C B D. Hence, C is the correct option.
