Horticultural Crop Sequencing: Flowering to Harvest
This solution sequences horticultural crops based on the typical duration from flowering to harvesting, in ascending order.
Crop Durations (Flowering to Harvest)
- Strawberry (C): Requires approximately 20-30 days from flowering to harvest.
- Litchi (A): Typically matures around 90-110 days after flowering.
- Banana (D): Generally requires 100-120 days for fruit development post-flowering, varying by cultivar.
- Guava (E): Usually takes a longer period, approximately 120-150 days.
- Coconut (B): Has the longest duration, with mature fruits taking about 365 days (1 year) post-flowering.
Ascending Order Sequence
Arranging these crops in ascending order based on these durations yields the following sequence:
- C (Strawberry): ~20-30 days
- A (Litchi): ~90-110 days
- D (Banana): ~100-120 days
- E (Guava): ~120-150 days
- B (Coconut): ~365 days
The correct sequence is therefore C, A, D, E, B.
