Direction : In the following question, the 1 st and the last part of the sentence/passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence/passage is split into four parts and named P, Q, R and S. These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence/passage and find out which of the four combinations is correct. 1. West Bengal, state of India, located in the eastern part of the country. P. West Bengal has a peculiar configuration; its breadth varies from 200 miles (320 km) at one point to hardly 10 miles (16 km) at another. Q. Its roughly 1,350-mile (2,200-km) frontier with Bangladesh, neither natural nor well defined, is of strategic importance. R. Talking about the other directions, it is bounded to the southwest by the state of Odisha, to the west by the states of Jharkhand and Bihar, and to the northwest by the country of Nepal. S. It is bounded to the north by the state of Sikkim and the country of Bhutan, to the northeast by the state of Assam, to the east by the country of Bangladesh, to the south by the Bay of Bengal. 6. Although in the area West Bengal ranks as one of the smaller states of India, it is one of the largest in population.

The correct answer is ‘SRPQ’ . Key Points While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them. Let us see how these parts of the sentence/paragraph can be arranged properly. Sentence S follows Sentence 1 as it establishes the subject matter as it is talking about the boundaries. Hence, it'll be the first Sentence after 1 . Therefore, S follows 1 . Sentence R is the logical successor of Sentence S because it's providing further information about other boundaries of West Bengal . Therefore, R follows S . Sentence P is the logical successor of Sentence R because it is adding more information to the context by talking about its configuration . Therefore, P follows R . Sentence Q is the logical successor of Sentence P because it's providing a conclusion to the context as i t is adding more information about the strategic importance . Therefore, Q follows P . Thus, the correct order is SRPQ: 1. West Bengal, state of India, located in the eastern part of the country. S. It is bounded to the north by the state of Sikkim and the country of Bhutan, to the northeast by the state of Assam, to the east by the country of Bangladesh, to the south by the Bay of Bengal. R. Talking about the other directions, it is bounded to the southwest by the state of Odisha, to the west by the states of Jharkhand and Bihar, and to the northwest by the country of Nepal. P. West Bengal has a peculiar configuration; its breadth varies from 200 miles (320 km) at one point to hardly 10 miles (16 km) at another. Q. Its roughly 1,350-mile (2,200-km) frontier with Bangladesh, neither natural nor well defined, is of strategic importance. 6. Although in the area West Bengal ranks as one of the smaller states of India, it is one of the largest in population.
