5. Petitioned

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2020 (Tier-2) Statistics Previous Year Paper 3 (28-Jan-2022)
The correct answer is

3, 1, 5, 4, 2

All five words share the common prefix Petition, so we compare the characters that follow that prefix in dictionary order.

  1. Petition – no extra letters; shortest, so comes first.
  2. Petitionary – next letter is a.
  3. Petitioned – next letter is e, followed by d.
  4. Petitioners – next letter is e, followed by r.
  5. Petitioning – next letter is i.

Ordering by these tie-breakers gives Petition (3) → Petitionary (1) → Petitioned (5) → Petitioners (4) → Petitioning (2), i.e. 3, 1, 5, 4, 2.
