Arrangement of Body Parts in Logical Order

The question asks us to arrange the given body parts—Nail, Elbow, Finger, Shoulder, Wrist—in a logical and meaningful sequence. We need to determine the correct order based on anatomical position or size progression.

Given Body Parts:

  • 1. Nail
  • 2. Elbow
  • 3. Finger
  • 4. Shoulder
  • 5. Wrist

Understanding the Logical Sequence

A common way to logically order body parts is from the extremity (like the tip of a finger) moving towards the core of the body, or vice versa. Let's consider the order starting from the very end of the arm and moving up:

  • Nail: This is the outermost part, located at the tip of the finger.
  • Finger: The finger includes the nail and the digits themselves.
  • Wrist: This joint connects the hand (which includes the fingers and nail) to the forearm.
  • Elbow: This joint connects the forearm to the upper arm.
  • Shoulder: This is the main joint connecting the entire arm (including finger, wrist, elbow) to the torso.

Therefore, the logical order from the tip of the finger towards the body is: Nail, Finger, Wrist, Elbow, Shoulder.

Mapping to Numerical Order

Now, let's map this sequence to the numbers provided:

  • Nail = 1
  • Finger = 3
  • Wrist = 5
  • Elbow = 2
  • Shoulder = 4

Combining these, the logical sequence is represented by the numbers: 1, 3, 5, 2, 4.

Evaluating the Options

Let's check which option matches our derived logical order:

Option Number Sequence Matches Logical Order?
1 3, 1, 2, 5, 4 No
2 3, 5, 1, 2, 4 No
3 1, 3, 5, 2, 4 Yes
4 1, 5, 3, 2, 4 No
5 (Implicitly refers to one of the sequences) -

The sequence 1, 3, 5, 2, 4 represents the logical arrangement from the fingertip (Nail) to the shoulder joint.
