SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

13245

All five words start with "De". Splitting by the third letter: "Dec" group — Decollete (1), Decorous (3); "Des" group — Desecrate (2), Despicable (4), Destitute (5). "Dec" precedes "Des".

Within "Dec", compare the 5th letter: Decollete (l) before Decorous (r), so order is 1, 3.

Within "Des", compare the 4th letter: Desecrate (e) < Despicable (p) < Destitute (t), giving 2, 4, 5.

Combined dictionary order: 1, 3, 2, 4, 5.
